In harmony with the principles developed in the academic field of Arcadia, a balance between nature-reason, intellect and imaginative fantasy is also restored pictorially (ut pictura poesis-Quinto Orazio Flacco). The painting, fruit and expression of the times that the painter lives, shows a very rare perspective cut of the Tiber, depicts a locus amoenus, a nature that is an indication of a peaceful and serene existence, out of time, aimed at a stable and peaceful quiet. . A still image of an idyllic moment fixed in its existential temporality. Pictorial, the canvas takes on a balanced register, where the measured spaces are in perfect harmony with the landscaped green in dense but precise matter. All this scenic layout of Dughetti's memory certainly derives from a common ductus and in keeping with the artists of his time such as Paolo Anesi (Rome 1697.1773) or Paolo Monaldi (Rome 1710-1779). His work is the product of a culture with precise literary and philosophical references from the Arcadian circles of his time "ASORstudio
