The 18th century Venetian Republic reconfigured the pop-cultural modernity with its collapse. On the sketches and frescoes of Giandomenico Tiepolo, the figures of Commedia dell’Arte banished from the city scene transform the erstwhile carnival into an inkling of the New World, the art of the circus. In the 20th century, authors and philosophers uncover a terrifying prophecy of the collapse of universal values from those visionary works.
