The work of the Adam Brothers informed the English neo- classical manner in the third quarter of the 18th century. Robert Adam’s visits to Italy occasioned his meeting with Pergolesi in Rome, whom he bought back to London to prepare a huge series of designs, which were used in the architectural and decorating schemes of the brothers. These designs were later published, and exist, even today at the Sir John Soane museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London
