Focusing on the Venetian senator and collector Girolamo Ascanio Molin, the essay shows how, at the fall of the Serenissima, the exercise of antiquarian erudition took on the characteristics of a search for identity, often charged with anti-Napoleonic connotations. The analysis of printed texts, manuscripts and archaeological finds proves that some cultural circles, animated by pro-Republican patricians, turned their attention to the study and collection of local objects, in order to historicise the city's past and affirm the existence of a common identity to oppose the New Regime.

Abstract
Focusing on the Venetian senator and collector Girolamo Ascanio Molin, the essay shows how, at the fall of the Serenissima, the exercise of antiquarian erudition took on the characteristics of a search for identity, often charged with anti-Napoleonic connotations. The analysis of printed texts, manuscripts and archaeological finds proves that some cultural circles, animated by pro-Republican patricians, turned their attention to the study and collection of local objects, in order to historicise the city's past and affirm the existence of a common identity to oppose the New Regime.
