Aristocracia alada, adalides del rey del Cielo. Ángeles militares en la pintura barroca americana
2016
El presente trabajo aborda el estudio de las imágenes de los ángeles militares en los virreinatos americanos y su interpretación a partir de la función cultural de las imágenes. Para ello se analizan las distintas tipologías visuales del arcángel san Miguel en el virreinato de Nueva España y su uso regiopolítico, la definición beligerante del resto de ángeles en la tradición teológica y la imagen de los conocidos como arcángeles arcabuceros. Identifica la tradición bélica del lenguaje posterior al concilio de Trento y, en el caso de los arcángeles arcabuceros, defiende su vinculación con la fiesta barroca. The present work focuses on the study of images of military angels in American Coloni…

Guerra e finanza nella Sicilia del XVII secolo. La partecipazione del Regno alla politica internazionale della monarchia spagnola
2022
In recent decades, the abandonment of the teleological perspective concerning the formation of the modern state has made it possible to rethink the nature of the European monarchies between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries and to read the center/periphery pair no longer in antithetical terms, but of integration and complementarity. If these historiographical acquisitions had significant implications in political and institutional studies, they were no less important in those lines of research that had as their focus the military sphere and its financing. The essay examines the participation of the Kingdom of Sicily in the international politics of the Spanish Monarchy, in order to un…
Hombres y espacios. Circulación en la monarquía de España en la primera edad moderna
2021
Since the last decades of the last century, studies on the Spanish monarchy have been enriched by new reflections and interest in the political and social dynamics that until then had been neglected, and thanks to the overcoming of historiographic paradigms linked to national realities. This new approach, which is linked to a dual perspective of local and international dimension, has given great importance to what is considered one of the aspects that characterized the Spanish Monarchy of the modern age: circulation, mobility and the transfer of knowledge. Despite the complex territorial articulation and wide geographical distances, the multiple "spaces" that attended the composition of the…
La Chiesa del re. Monarchia e Papato nella Sicilia spagnola (secc. XVI-XVII)
2015
La storiografia siciliana cade spesso in una tentazione “siculo-centrica”, viziata dalla rivendicazione dell’unicità dell’esperienza storica dell’isola, dallo spettro delle famigerate “dominazioni straniere”, nonché dall’ambivalente giudizio sulla sua classe dirigente e le sue istituzioni, ora baluardo delle libertates del Regnum Siciliae contro sovrani dispotici o in frangenti di anarchia politica, ora ostacolo a tutti i tentativi di modernizzazione. Il volume propone invece un’analisi di più ampio respiro storico e storiografico attraverso la ricostruzione della complessa articolazione della Chiesa siciliana nei primi due secoli dell’età moderna, quando essa è stata all’origine di continu…
Élite senza frontiere dentro e fuori la Monarchia spagnola
2017
La storiografia europea sulla Monarchia spagnola, indipendentemente dai complessivi quadri interpretativi ("composite monarchy", "sistema imperiale", "monarquía católica"), va esplorando negli ultimi anni la permeabilità dei suoi spazi, aperti alla circolazione di individui e gruppi al servizio degli Asburgo. Tale mobilità tra le discontinue (non solo geograficamente) frontiere di reinos e province spagnole (America compresa) ha riguardato in particolare quelle élite che, forti del sostegno di reti familiari e clientelari di potere, hanno più di altre contribuito alla costruzione e al funzionamento della Monarchia iberica "sub specie imperii". Lo spettro dei protagonisti e degli spazi della…
Le pouvoir royal (1814-1848). A la recherche du quatrième pouvoir ?
2021
This work sheds light on the representations of royal power that confronted each other until 1848 to fulfil the programme of reconciliation of the "two France" wanted by Louis XVIII. They are divided between the desire to return to the Ancien Régime and the attempt to renew the royal function. Opposed to the ultraroyalists, the supporters of this original path wished to consecrate liberal constitutionalism by resorting to an unexpected expedient, the power of the King, which had to be remodelled. As with Constant and Dunoyer, it was a question of creating a fourth power with its own essence and a new mission: to watch over the institutions. This regulating or preserving power produced a pas…
Control Over Administration, Repression of Corruption and Practices of Negotiation in the Spanish Monarchy. The Process of Residencia at the 10th Cou…
2021
The debate around the definition of the political nature of the Spanish Monarchy in the modern age has widened its scope in recent years to include not only reflections on the relationships between the Court and the diverse territorial elements that made itup but also the various forms that “remote government” took from at various times. The success of a polycentric model, and the awareness of the parts played by a wide range of actors, communities and institutions at local level and in the broader international environment, have brought up some key questions with reference to the pivotal role of the transition from a theoretical model of administration, management and control to its practi…
Religiosi e “geometrie dell’impero”. Teorie e pratiche fortificatorie tra Mediterraneo e Atlantico
2018
Between the end of the fifteenth century and the beginning of the sixteenth, the changes in the military technology - mainly related to the spread of firearms - implied a re-elaboration of the fortification construction theories and, consequently, a practical experimentation aimed at the identification of architectural models capable to make the border areas safe and impregnable. Far from involving only a small circle of "men of arms", the debate about the “new art of the war” involved men whose formation can not be traced back to a specific type. Clearly emerges a fact: the involvement of ecclesiastics also as "technicians" for the design of defensive structures, was not a marginal phenome…
La storiografia italiana e la proiezione atlantica della Monarchia Spagnola. Alcune riflessioni
2022
Since the end of the nineteenth century, the attention of Italian historiography to the Spanish monarchy in the modern age has been a constant in political, social and economic studies. However, until the end of the last century, the attention to the ‘Atlantic dimension’ of the Monarchy was an expression of the interest of individual scholars within a panorama strongly characterized by research on the Mediterranean and European context. The passage from the 20th to the 21st century, instead, has witnessed the affirmation of new historiographical paths that adopted as an indispensable assumption the awareness of the impossibility of studying the Spanish monarchy if not in its imperial dimens…
