This research project focuses onAlfred von Reumont (1808-1887): a Catholic diplomat in the service of Prussia and of Italo-German historiography. Von Reumont, a diplomat dabbling in History, was involved in the most relevant German-Italian research projects of the 19th century, at times as a go-between, at others as counsellor. Though both his contemporaries and current researchers have recognised his considerable influence, an analysis of his letters, available at the manuscript department of the university library in Bonn, is still a blank area in Italo-German research. This may come as a surprise to some, given the key role this correspondence might play to understanding 19th century historiography, which in turn produced editions of medieval sources, such as the Monumenta Germaniae Historica (MGH), which have remained relevant until today. Thanks to the conservation of the correspondence of von Reumont , the most significant among his correspondents in Florence, Rome and Turin have been identified. Examining their counterparts to his letters promises to reveal the egocentric network of this protagonist, disclosing the various forms and effects of the thus initiated cultural flows and transfers. Based on such an analysis, we strive to show structures and mechanisms of a historiography which at the time was redefining itself, and the political instrumentation of which gave rise to a jealous struggle for access to archives. We now hope, for the first time, to examine the actions of this agent, who partook in the decision of who was to write history, and who was not.

本研究项目的重点是阿尔弗雷德冯Reumont（1808年至1887年）：天主教外交官在普鲁士和意大利-德国史学服务。冯·吕蒙是一位涉猎历史的外交官，他参与了19世纪最相关的德国-意大利研究项目，有时担任中间人，有时担任顾问。 虽然他的同时代人和目前的研究人员都认识到他的巨大影响力，但对他的信件的分析（可在波恩大学图书馆的手稿部获得）仍然是意大利-德国研究的空白领域。这可能会让一些人感到惊讶，因为这些信件可能对理解19世纪世纪的历史学起着关键作用，而19世纪的历史学又产生了中世纪来源的版本，如《日耳曼历史纪念碑》（MGH），这些版本直到今天仍然相关。由于保存的信件冯Reumont，其中最重要的他的记者在佛罗伦萨，罗马和都灵已确定。通过对他的书信的分析，我们可以发现主人公的自我中心网络，揭示由此引发的文化流动和转移的各种形式和影响。基于这样的分析，我们努力展示当时正在重新定义自己的史学的结构和机制，以及政治工具，其中引起了一场争夺档案的嫉妒斗争。我们现在希望，第一次，检查这个代理人的行动，谁参与决定谁来写历史，谁不是。
