English summary: On the occasion of the restauration of the bas-relief of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane in Jerusalem, a century after it was damaged, the present volume offers a retrospective on the neo-classical artist Giovanni Ferrari, also known as il Torretti. This richly illustrated volume traces the artistic studio of the Venetian Torretto family during the early modern period until the nineteenth century. French description: Il volume esce in occasione del restauro del bassorilievo raffigurante Gesu in orazione conservato presso l’Orto del Getsemani a Gerusalemme, opera di Giovanni Ferrari detto il Torretti. A distanza di quasi un secolo dall’episodio che lo danneggio, il Custode di Terra Santa ha autorizzato il recupero di questo capolavoro di arte neoclassica, affidando i lavori al noto laboratorio fiorentino diretto da Andrea e Tommaso Fedeli. Il restauro, unitamente alla pubblicazione del volume, e stata un’occasione per avviare uno studio su Giovanni Ferrari e sulla famiglia Torretto – Giuseppe Torretto (1661-1743), Giuseppe Bernardi detto il Torrettino (1694-1774) e Giovanni Ferrari detto il Torretti (1744-1826) -, oltre che per compiere un viaggio nel panorama artistico della Serenissima tra XVII e XIX secolo. Una stirpe di artisti veneti, quella dei Torretto, purtroppo fino ad ora non abbastanza valorizzati dagli studi storico-artistici, e ricordati prevalentemente per essere stati tra i maestri del celebre Antonio Canova piu che per la loro attivita professionale.
