The Reconsidered History of Artistic Exchanges on a Personal Level between Japan and Italy in the 1880s : The Japanese Activities of the Photographer Adolfo Farsari and Count Alessandro Zileri, Secretary of the Retinue of Count of Enrico di Bardi of Bourb

19世纪80年代，阿道夫·法萨里作为摄影师在横滨的活动至今仍是个谜。20世纪90年代初，埃琳娜·达尔·普拉特对S的研究首次揭示了他的活动，经常提到他新发现的信件。本研究通过查阅阿道夫1895年3月22日的遗书、他的信件和保存在家乡一些机构的其他文件，证实了阿道夫本人于1888年制作并寄给他父母的一本相册，现在保存在维琴察的Civic Pinacotheca，以及阿道夫带回意大利或获得的财产，最后遗赠给他的女儿Kiku和他的妹妹，如另外两本相册，五个木盒负片玻璃板和一枚刻有拉丁文“Ortus Junxit Mors non Separabit 1882年2月19日”的金戒指，通过仔细阅读日本1870年《S》和1880年《S》外文报纸上的一些文章，我们追踪了他从1876年9月8日抵达横滨至1890年4月12日离开时作为杂货商人、制图师、出版商、画家和摄影师的活动，勾勒出他作为一名杰出摄影师的活动轮廓。还对法萨里公司与1889年巴尔迪伯爵、波旁恩里科及其随从访问日本的关系进行了考察。该党书记亚历山德罗·齐莱里(Alessandro Zileri)对他们的环球旅行写了一本未经编辑的日记，由15本小册子组成。通过转录和翻译关于他们在日本逗留的日记的一部分，我们证实了波旁的恩里科和他的团队经常向阿道夫·法萨里订购照片。这是一个新的证据，也表明了外国游客对横滨照片的热情。

The activity of Adolfo Farsari as a photographer in Yokohama of the 1880's still remained mysteries. The early 1990's study by Elena Dal Prashed light on his activity for the first time, referring frequently to his newly discovered letters. The present research confirmed an album of photographs Adolfo himself produced and sent to his parents in 1888, now kept in the Civic Pinacotheca of Vicenza, and the property Adolfo brought back with him to Italy or acquired, finally bequeathing to his daughter Kiku and his sister, such as other two albums, five wood-cases of negative glass-plates and a gold ring with a Latin inscription of "Ortus Junxit mors non separabit 19th Februarii 1882", by consulting his testament of 22 March 1895, his letters and other documents kept in some institutions of his hometown, and made photographic reproductions of them.Through a close reading of some articles from the 1870''s and 1880's foreign-language newspapers published in Japan, we traced his activities as a trader in sundries, a cartographer, a publisher and a painter and a photographer from his arrival in Yokohama of 8 September 1876 through his departure of 12 April 1890, showing an outline of his activities as an outstanding photographer.An investigation into the relationship between Farsari's Company and a visit to Japan in 1889 of the Count of Bardi, Enrico of Bourbon and his retinue has also been conducted. Alessandro Zileri, a secretary of the party, kept an unedited diary of their round-the-world tour, composed of 15 booklets. By transcribing and translating a part of the diary regarding their stay in Japan, we confirmed that Enrico of Bourbon and his party often ordered photographs from Adolfo Farsari. It is a new evidence that also shows how ardently foreign travelers desired Yokohama photographs.
