This article is dedicated to the image of Padua in the diary of August Fryderyk Moszyński (1731–1786), a close collaborator of King Stanislas August Poniatowski, architect, director of royal buildings, and promoter of the Warsaw theatre. The diary, which covers a journey to France and Italy (1784–1786), has been partially published in the original French version (1930; 2010) and Polish translation (1970). The diary is remarkable for Polish 18 th -century odeporic literature due to its critical approach, quasi-scientific character, and interest in contemporary developments. In this article, the author establishes the dates of Moszyński’s stay in Padua and then analyses elements such as the descriptions, impressions, and assessments of urban environments; buildings, pictures, people, and events; as well as cultural and scientific life. The portrait of Padua drawn by Moszyński is compared with that which emerges from other travelogues and texts presented to the Polish public at the time, in particular with the description of Italy that appeared in the Warsaw journal "Pamiętnik Historyczno- Polityczny" in 1787. The analysis of the travelogue passages relating to the two stays in Padua confirms the versatility of the traveller. The description of Padua by Moszyński is multifaceted, often ironic and personal. He wrote as an expert in architecture and urban spaces; a connoisseur of theatre; a builder of scientific instruments; an admirer of Renaissance artists; a lover of truth in art; and a sharp and critical observer. The last part of the article is dedicated to the circumstances of Moszyński’s death, which, contrary to what may be suggested by the diary, did not occur in Padua but in Venice (on 3 July 1786, at the famous Leon Bianco inn).

L’articolo è dedicato all’immagine di Padova nel Diario di viaggio in Francia e in Italia (1784–1786) di August Fryderyk Moszyński (1731–1786), stretto collaboratore del re Stanislao Augusto Poniatowski, architetto, direttore di edifici reali, promotore del teatro di Varsavia. Il diario è stato parzialmente pubblicato in francese (1930, 2010) e in traduzione polacca (1970). Nella letteratura odeporica polacca del Settecento si distingue per il suo approccio critico, il carattere quasi scientifico e l’interesse per il presente. Una volta fissate le date dei soggiorni a Padova, vengono analizzati elementi quali descrizioni, impressioni e valutazioni relative ad ambienti urbani, edifici, quadri, persone ed eventi, nonché la vita culturale e scientifica. Il ritratto di Padova disegnato da Moszyński è messo a confronto con altri odeporici dell’epoca e quello che emerge da testi su argomenti simili presentati al pubblico polacco nello stesso periodo, in particolare con la descrizione dell’Italia apparsa a puntate sulla rivista varsaviana "Pamiętnik Historyczno-Polityczny" nel 1787. L’analisi dei brani del diario relativi ai due soggiorni a Padova conferma la versatilità del viaggiatore. La descrizione di Padova è sfaccettata, spesso ironica e personale. Moszyński scrive da esperto di architettura e di spazi urbani, conoscitore di teatro, costruttore di strumenti scientifici, ammiratore di artisti rinascimentali, amante della verità nell’arte, osservatore acuto e severo. L’ultima parte del saggio è dedicata alle circostanze della morte di Moszyński, che – contrariamente a quanto affermato in alcune fonti e a quanto suggerito dal diario stesso – non è avvenuta a Padova, bensì a Venezia (il 3 luglio 1786, nella famosa locanda del Leon Bianco).

The article presents literary image of queen Bona appearing in Polish nineteenth and twentieth century drama and makes an attempt at explaining the reasons for painting such an image. The action of the majority of plays discussed (written in the nineteenth- and the beginning of the twentieth century) was inspired by the stormy course of marriage between Sigismund Augustus and Barbara Radziwiłł while Bona, as a character depicted in dark colours, was opposed to excessively idealised Barbara. The queen from the Sforza family was shown as a woman blinded by hatred, power-thirsty, a cunning and unscrupulous plotter, pitiless poisoner, foreigner acting against the interests of Poles and implementing the controversial teaching of her countryman Machiavelli. The negative and historically false image became blurred with the passage of years to change radically as result of a more critical attitude to Barbara in the literary works written after the Second World War. From a bad monarch wishing Poland ill, Bona turned to a wise ruler and far-sighted politician defending the interest of her second homeland. The article discusses separately radically differing images of queen Bona outlined in two dramas set in Bari and not inspired by Sigismund Augustus’ marriage. Additionally the stage history of one of the dramas is presented.

W artykule omówiono literacki wizerunek królowej Bony w polskich dramatach dziewiętnasto- i dwudziestowiecznych oraz podjęto próbę zrozumienia jego genezy. Akcja większości omawianych utworów, napisanych w XIX i na początku XX wieku, zainspirowana jest burzliwymi losami małżeństwa Zygmunta Augusta z Barbarą Radziwiłłówną, a postać Bony, odmalowana w ciemnych barwach, przeciwstawiona jest nadmiernie wyidealizowanej postaci Barbary. Królową z rodu Sforzów ukazano jako kobietę zaślepioną nienawiścią i żądną władzy, sprytną i pozbawioną skrupułów intrygantkę, bezlitosną trucicielkę, a także cudzoziemkę, która działa na szkodę Polaków i wprowadza w życie kontrowersyjne nauki swojego rodaka Machiavellego. Ten negatywny wizerunek, niezgodny z rzeczywistością historyczną, z biegiem lat coraz bardziej traci na wyrazistości, by zmienić się radykalnie w utworach powstałych po drugiej wojnie światowej za sprawą bardziej krytycznego ukazania Barbary. Ze złej i wrogiej Polsce monarchini Bona staje się mądrą władczynią i dalekowzrocznym politykiem, broniącym interesów przybranej ojczyzny. W dalszej części artykułu omówiono skrajnie różny sposób przedstawienia królowej Bony w dwóch dramatach rozgrywających się w Bari i niezainspirowanych małżeństwem Zygmunta Augusta. Dodatkowo ukazano dzieje sceniczne jednego z tych utworów.
