Parisian Memories. Enrico Castel-Micro recalls his parisian experience as a young Art history student, in 1953-1954. It is for him the opportunity to remind us of the research facilities he found in the different institutions, libraries and museums, as well as his meeting great historians of the time, mainly specialized in the medieval period. He was struck both by the intellectual qualities of some scholars and by a kind of stiffness and division in the world of Art history which, according to him, was to give way, only thanks to André Chastel’s influence.
