This study examines previously unpublished Italian translations of Voltaire’s works from the Fondo Cagnazzi (Archivio-Biblioteca-Museo Civico, Altamura), attributed to Luca de Samuele Cagnazzi (1764–1852). Linked to European references and Altamura’s intellectual milieu, the translations reveal a selective reception of Voltaire, showing how translation served as cultural mediation and intellectual engagement in a provincial yet connected setting.
