Nobiltà nuove di Sicilia tra fedeltà, finanza e speculazione (secoli XVI-XVII)
2019
Il saggio ripercorre i mutamenti che ridisegnarono radicalmente volto e gerarchie interne della nobiltà siciliana nei secoli dell'età moderna. Matrimonio e compravendita risultano essere gli agenti più rilevanti del ricambio nel XVI secolo, mentre nel Seicento la vendita di titoli e di giurisdizioni ridefinì la mappatura della nobiltà siciliana a tutti i livelli della gerarchia, in un contesto in cui il mercato dell'onore contribuiva non poco al mutamento in atto nella società siciliana, garantendo promozione sociale e redistribuzione delle ricchezze dal basso. Il saggio prende in esame alcuni casi emblematici, mostrando l'intreccio tra finanza e speculazione, politica e affari alla base di…
Ingegneri militari nella Sicilia degli Asburgo: formazione, competenze e carriera di una figura professionale tra Cinque e Seicento
2015
During the Sixteenth century and the first half of the following one, Sicily played a key role in the strategy of defense of the Spanish Empire from the looming Turkish threat, being an island considered as a baluarte against the Turks. Yet despite this absolute centrality in the military policy of the Spanish monarchy, till now historical research has preferred to provide broader spectrum interpretations at the expense of in-depth studies on individual technicians or overall pictures about the figure of the military engineer. We will present a synoptic view attesting the time period of activity covered by each military technician working for the kingdom of Sicily, within a wider study conc…
La vida cotidiana de los vecinos de Manila a través de sus testamentos e inventarios de bienes
2019
With the general objective indicated in its title, this work tries to highlight relevant aspects in the continuity of the Spanish domain in the Philippines, dependent on the maintenance of the Spanish capital. The inevitable selection of topics has lead the preferences of this work towards the residents collaboration to defend the city, the conversion of many of them into traders of exotic products and singular slaves owners, and their collaboration to an incredible miscegenation due to the ethnic variety. On the other hand, to follow the footsteps of the first generation of residents in Manila, at the end of the 16th century and during the 17th century, this work gives us some information …

A Failed Constitutional Experiment: The Monarchical Constitutionalism and the Organic Regulations of 1831-1832
2020
In this paper I intend to give a brief account of the context, causes, structure, aims and dynamic of what I decided to label the Romanian ‘monarchical constitutionalism without octroy’, as a subspecies of the monarchical constitutionalism. After a short account of the geopolitical, political, legal and social contexts specific to the Romanian Principalities at 1830, I shall address the provisions of the ORs against the accepted standards of the monarchical constitutionalism and follow their subsequent developments in the Romanian constitutional and political praxis. My core idea is that the Russians have borrowed from France and imposed the specific constitutional mechanisms of limited mon…

2017
Portrait of the end of an epoch in Ladislav Fuks’ novel Vevodkyně a kuchařka The subject of the article entitled ‘‘Portrait of the end of an epoch in Ladislav Fuks’ novel Vevodkyně a kuchařka” is the reflection on the last work of the novelist published in 1983. Apart from old age, which is the conference key matter and is considered mainly on the level of literary character in this case such strategy may be related to arepresentative of an aristocracy prince Leuchtenberg-Aulendorf, the author dedicates majority of attention to metaphorical understanding of this issue. For old age can refer to the decline of the ‘long’ 19th century, and the argumentation for such biological consideration of…
The Display of Royal Ecclesiastical Power: The Palatine Chapel of Palermo (1586–1713)
2021
Any study of the Palatine Chapel in Palermo should take into account the two contexts of Spanish Caesaropapism in Sicily, namely a Church established by Habsburg rulers with the monarch at its head, and international relationships between the Spanish Monarchy, France, and the Holy See. This chapel, situated right at the heart of the Royal Palace – seat of both the Viceroy and the tribunals of the Kingdom – was actually a sort of miniature cathedral for the Spanish king-pope (as ecclesiastical patron and papal legate), and the fact that it was dedicated to Saint Peter clearly evoked the papal Basilica of the same name in Rome. The Palatine Chapel was indeed one of the main issues associated …
Al servicio del rey. Sobre la carta real diplomática de la Corona de Aragón (1336-1458)
2017
El objetivo de este artículo es reconstruir la evolución morfológica de la carta real diplomática catalanoaragonesa entre los reinados de Pedro el Ceremonioso y Alfonso el Magnánimo. A lo largo de este período, esta tipología documental, siguiendo los principios del Ars dictaminis, adaptó sus características externas e internas a las acciones jurídicas que contenía y a sus destinatarios, sin renunciar por ello a su simplicidad material y textual. Con su adecuación a las necesidades comunicativas de la monarquía, la carta real diplomática se convirtió en un instrumento de gobierno que contribuyó al fortalecimiento del poder real y anticipó formas que alcanzarán su pleno desarrollo en época m…

Imprenta y poder en el Siglo de Oro. Relaciones y avisos sobre las fiestas reales entre Palermo y Nápoles
2019
Las fiestas reales, con sus ritos y valor simbólico, fueron una herramienta estratégica para fortalecer los vínculos entre el soberano, la nobleza y el pueblo en las provincias del reino. Las relaciones impresas que se conservan sobre las celebraciones reflejan que la monarquía tenía un programa claro para gestionar el consenso político local y reforzar las jerarquías sociales existentes. Se muestran algunos aspectos de esta relación entre imprenta y poder a través de algunas relaciones de sucesos impresas en dos importantes ciudades bajo dominio español: Palermo y Nápoles. Royal celebrations, with their rites and symbolic value, were intended as a strategic tool for the Spanish Crown, in o…
