Summary/Abstract: Th e paper evokes the stay in of Italian painter Giovanni Schiavoni (1804-1848), son of Natale Schiavoni, professor of the Arts Academy in Venice. Giovanni Schiavoni’s activity as professor was very benefi c for the discovery and guidance of young talented Moldavians in the fi eld of fi ne arts. Th e paintings created by Schiavoni while in Moldavia are referred to in this context, especially the portraits and icons for the new Metropolitan Cathedral (1837-1848). Most of the paper focuses on the analysis of one of the most interesting works by Schiavoni, though known to a very little extent: The Festivity of the Mihăileană Academy, 8 November 1837. Th e paper is now preserved in Jean Maisonabe’s private collection (descendent of the fi rst rector of the Mihăileană Academy in Iaşi), who lives in Bertholène, Rodez department (France). It is for the first time that this work is published in colors and with enlarged details.
