The paper analyzes the development of the eclectic culture in Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases. On this basis the contribution illustrates the cultural reasons that led to the birth of this eclectic movement and to compare the different solutions adopted in Europe. However the second half of the nineteenth century the eclecticism has been the language of cultural colonialism outside Europe. In this period, many European artists and architects emigrate to America and Asia. Precisely these architects have contributed to the development of eclecticism overseas and very interesting is the dissemination of this culture Beyond Europe.

Abstract
The paper analyzes the development of the eclectic culture in Europe from the mid-eighteenth century to the early twentieth century. The Eclecticism is a conceptual approach that does not hold rigidly to a single paradigm or set of assumptions, but instead draws upon multiple theories, styles, or ideas to gain complementary insights into a subject, or applies different theories in particular cases. On this basis the contribution illustrates the cultural reasons that led to the birth of this eclectic movement and to compare the different solutions adopted in Europe. However the second half of the nineteenth century the eclecticism has been the language of cultural colonialism outside Europe. In this period, many European artists and architects emigrate to America and Asia. Precisely these architects have contributed to the development of eclecticism overseas and very interesting is the dissemination of this culture Beyond Europe.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
