El programa pictórico del Palau Palmerola en Barcelona. Interpretación de escenas mediante el archivo patrimonial familiar
2016
ABSTRACT: The first Marquis of Palmerola, Francesc Xavier Despujol, remodelled his family residence in 1784, which included a large hall decorated with a pictorial program painted by Pere Pau Montana. These historical paintings depicted episodes of war and peace, related to the family history of the owners, in order to show the importance and roots of their lineage, highlighting their illustrious role in their country’s history and commerce. This constitutes an outright justification of their power, an ostentatious display of their social status and their loyalty to the crown, following the trend amongst the nobility for building these cases grans during the last third of the eighteenth cen…
Manifest Sapiehów z 6 marca 1702 roku
2017
The second half of the 17th century history of the Great Duchy of Lithuania was dominated by the hegemony of two families: the Pac family and the Sapieha family. The latter managed to seize control over all spheres of public life and made decisions regarding the attitude of Lithuania with regard to the king and the Republic of Poland. The period of domination of the Sapieha family dates from 1685 to the early 1690s., when the plans of Jan III Sobieski, who attempted to build a political force that could withstand and counterbalance the influence of the Sapieha family, started to come to fruition. This, in turn, resulted in armed conflicts in the late 1690s aimed against the Sapieha family a…
Gracia y gobierno en la administración valenciana del seiscientos. Hacia nuevos consensos
2015
Desde 1645 dos miembros de la nobleza local entraron a formar parte de la sala criminal de la Audiencia valenciana. Como consejeros de capa y espada asumieron competencias en materias de gracia y gobierno. Con esta medida se introdujo una moderación del arbitrio virreinal en tales ejercicios. Pero, sobre todo, la corona convirtió a la pequeña y mediana nobleza del reino en nueva colaboradora de su política de control estamental. From 1645 two members of the local nobility came to form part of the Criminal Chamber of the Valencian audience. As Ministers of «capa y espada» took powers in matters of Grace and Government.

Lo scopo del saggio è di offrire una riflessione sulla nobiltà spagnola, siciliana e napoletana nel complesso quadro della crisi dinastica verificatasi nella monarchia spagnola alla morte di Carlo II.

Rhema ghennàion. Responsabilità ‘genetica’ del poeta tragico nelle Rane di Aristofane
2017
Questo contributo si propone di indagare il rapporto tra cultura e politica nelle Rane di Aristofane attraverso una delineazione delle nozioni di responsabilità e merito nella figura del poeta tragico au-spicata da Aristofane. Dall’appartenenza del poeta alle Muse, che si configura nella sua partecipa-zione ai loro Misteri, discende una sua responsabilità ‘genetica’: il poeta utile alla polis è infatti fer-tile (γόνιμος), ovvero, è in grado di fecondare il teatro, e quindi la città, di valori che, ispirandosi agli insegnamenti del passato, educhino i cittadini. Intorno al concetto di ‘nobiltà’ (γενναιότης), unito a quello di fecondità (sulla base della radice *γεν-), si sviluppa l’idea di u…
The Gifts to Sicilian Sanctuaries from Spanish Viceroys and Local Nobility
2018
In seventeenth-century Sicily, worship, and the devotion that the noble and aristocratic classes in particular felt for the island’s main sanctuaries and the images that were venerated in them, stimulated the production of the decorative arts. Spanish viceroys and vicereines, and noblemen and women, commissioned many objects in order to offer them to the most important Sicilian sanctuaries as a sign of profound devotion and political power. The strong, intense presence of the Spanish nobility in Sicily explains the Spanish stylistic influences, which are manifested in the Sicilian production of decorative art objects, and especially in jewellery, an aspect that went hand in hand with fashio…
ELITES AND ECCLESIASTICAL CAREERS IN EARLY MODERN SICILY: BISHOPS, ABBOTS AND KNIGHTS
2009
Most recent research on Sicilian aristocracy in early modern age has shown how the elite of the island, while keeping its reference “ideological” models in the titled nobility of feudality, was actually a very composite social group, formed by bureaucrats, lawyers, merchants, former “gabelloti” (major tenants of estates) as well as by professionals. Moreover, joining this heterogeneous aristocratic group was increasingly linked, especially since the end of the sixteenth century, to a large availability of financial resources provided by these “new nobles”. During that period, infact, due to mounting economical troubles, the Spanish monarchy actually made a widespread use of conferring – or,…
