A Florentine family in crisis: the Strozzi in the fifteenth century.
No full textPhDIn 1434 the Strozzi lineage had held a leading position in
Florentine society and government for at least one hundred and fifty
years, and was one of the largest and wealthiest of the city's
patrician lineages. The records of the catasto of 1427 and of the
scrutiny of 1433 are used to give a profile of the dominant social,
economic and political position of the Strozzi before the advent of
Medicean dominance. Their record of electoral success, and the
political and cultural leadership of influential and respected men
such as Palla di Nofri and Matteo di Simone, with other factors, put
the Strozzi amongst the greatest enemies of the victorious Medicean
regime of late 1434. The effects of political opposition and exile
on the lineage are examined both directly, through records of office-holding,
and indirectly through such indicators as marriage alliances
and household wealth. The two most prominent lines of the Strozzi
were exiled after 1434. Palla di Nofri's life and preoccupations in
his Paduan exile are examined, together with the lives of his sons;
none of these Strozzi ever returned to Florence, pursued as they were
by the enmity of the Medicean regime. The very different careers of
Filippo di Matteo and his brother Lorenzo are also examined: how they
succeeded in founding a lucrative bank in Naples, and in returning to
Florence to 'rebuild' (rifare) the position of the Strozzi lineage
there. The final decades of the century saw the Strozzi in an
economically more secure position, due substantially to the efforts
of Filippo. Except for a very small number of its members admitted
into the regime, most of the lineage is here shown to have remained
excluded from significant political office until after the fall of
the Medici regime in 1494

Les Osservazioni de Filippo Maria Pagano sur la Constitution de Cadix à Naples en 1820
No full textThe constitutional debate ongoing in the south of the Italian peninsula during the « nonimestre » had been deep and intellectuals such as Filippo Maria Pagano, a career military person and author of remarkable Istoria del Regno di Napoli. Pagano’s Osservazioni alla Costituzione Spagnuola, published in 1820, focused on some critical aspects of the « reception » of the Constitution of Cadiz and insisted on a specificities of the Neapolitan context, retrieving the criticism by Vincenzo Cuoco to the Francesco Mario Pagano’s Progetto di Costituzione for the 1799 Neapolitan Republic. The study aims to explain in the major events leading to the grant of the Cadiz Constitution by King Ferdinand I ; then after a brief report on the parliamentary debate, it will focus on the Pagano’s Osservazion
Mantua under Gianfrancesco Gonzaga (1407-1444) : war, politics and diplomacy in a Lombard buffer state
No full textThis thesis aims to assess the importance of Gianfrancesco Gonzaga
and his state in early quattrocento politics. The central geographical
position of Mantua placed it in the forefront of the conflict between
Venice and Milan which dominated Gianfrancesco's life. It was a conflict
during which both protagonists tried to exploit Mantua to further their
own expansionist aims.
Such a clash of interests naturally placed immense pressures
upon Gianfrancesco. As always, his primary aim was to maintain the
existence of his state and this meant that he had to manoeuvre himself
between the two rivals. He was to place the strategic advantages of
Mantua and his own talents as a military commander first of all at the
disposal of Venice, the traditional ally and protector of the Mantuan
state, and subsequently, in 1438, when he became suspicious of Venetian
motives, at the disposal of Filippo Maria Visconti. The central portion
of the thesis investigates Gianfrancesco's relations with these two very
different masters and attempts to clarify the issues and motives which
prompted his change of loyalty in 1438.
In many respects, the role which Gianfrancesco was called
upon to play was an unenviable one. While it is true that he himself
obtained a considerable degree of prestige as Commander of the Venetian
army as well as the 'kudos' of an Imperial title, the dual role of ruler
and soldier of fortune which had been thrust upon him bristled with
problems, and these are also investigated in this study.
The period of Gianfranceso's rule provides us with an
excellent opportunity to observe the problems and decisions which
confronted a small state like Mantua at a time of political crisis.
The part which Gianfrancesco and Mantua played in that crisis has
been underestimated and this thesis attempts to redress the balance

Convento di S. Maria degli Angeli
No full text"The titular church of the Medici family, S Lorenzo is regarded by many as the quintessential Renaissance church. The rebuilding of the old Romanesque church of S Lorenzo, originally consecrated by St Ambrose in the 4th century, was largely carried out in the 15th century, with additions in the 16th and 17th. The Signoria gave permission for the enlargement of the existing church in 1418, and it has been argued that church officials were persuaded that the fabric should be extended in order to accommodate chapels for such families of standing as the Neroni, Ginori, Rondinelli, della Stufa, Nelli and Ciai. Although Filippo Brunelleschi was traditionally associated with the design of the new church, he is now thought to have designed only the Old Sacristy in the north-west corner, commissioned by Giovanni di Averardo de’ Medici and the first part of the new fabric to be erected. The rest of the rebuilding work may have been conceived on the basis of his designs, but it is now thought more likely to have been carried out under the influence of such followers as Michelozzo."
