La storia dell'omosessualità nell'Italia moderna: un bilancio
No full textGay studies are a young research field in international historiography. Over the past few years, after a period of relative silence, historical studies on homosexuality have begun to develop also in Italy. The aim of this article is to review recent research in Italian early modern homosexuality, comparing contexts and considering methodological issues. The paper highlights the lack of gender-oriented works in a historiography which has mostly been dominated by sexual crimes analysis. In addition, it discusses some of the potential ways in which the cultural history approach might be applied in LGBT research
«La sodomia è boccone da principi». Voci libertine fuori dall’Accademia: il caso veneziano tra Sei e Settecento
No full textNella prima metà del Seicento, i giovani patrizi e letterati che gravitavano intorno all’Accademia degli Incogniti e all’Università patavina, importante fucina dell’aristotelismo eterodosso, fecero della Repubblica di Venezia il principale centro italiano del libero pensiero. Tra le opere prodotte, l’Alcibiade fanciullo a scuola di Antonio Rocco rappresenta forse uno dei più riusciti esercizi filosofici di legittimazione della libertà sessuale, a lungo censurato e deprecato per il contenuto osceno della trama. Il contributo si propone di rilevare alcune indicative assonanze tra il materiale culturale dell’Alcibiade e i ragionamenti eterodossi espressi dagli inquisiti per sodomia dalle magistrature veneziane, secolari e religiose, nel corso del Seicento e del Settecento
Medicina e giustizia nell’amministrazione della sanità: la Repubblica di Venezia
No full textThis paper examines the relationship between medicine and justice in the management of public health during the Republic of Venice. It explores the emergency measures taken to combat outbreaks, which involved a partnership between medical experts and political author- ities. However, this partnership extended beyond epidemics, requiring a complex interplay of authorities in administering social life. The Venetian Republic was a crucial setting for the development of modern health management, which prioritized social control and public order over prevention and care. The paper notes that this collaboration between medicine and justice extended to regulating deviant behaviors, such as violence and non-normative sexuality. Ultimately, medicine was subordinated to politics and the protection of the community

From sodomy to homosexuality: the role of criminal law in Filippo Maria Renazzi’s Rome between the Enlightenment and the Napoleonic Era
No full textThroughout the nineteenth century, significant transformations
took place in the understanding of Western homosexuality,
shifting from the domain of criminal law to that of medical
science. This article explores the role of European legal thought
in laying the groundwork for such changes, particularly starting
from the mid-eighteenth century. Examining the contributions of
the Roman jurist Filippo Maria Renazzi (1745–1808), this research
emphasizes his role among the thinkers who lived through the
transition from the European ius commune tradition to the era of
criminal codes. Renazzi, a conservative university professor in
papal Rome, not unfamiliar with Enlightenment discussions,
penned a successful criminal treatise in Latin between 1773 and
1786. His expertise was also in demand during the subsequent
development of the criminal code for the Napoleonic Kingdom of
Italy. By focusing on the figure of Renazzi, still not extensively
studied, this article attempts to shed light on the transition
towards the general decriminalization of non-reproductive carnal
offenses, including sodomy. In the new penal code project, only
acts committed against the will of others and public order
remained generically condemned. This underscored the
indifference of criminal law towards penalizing behavior that
medicine would subsequently come to recognize as an inherent
identity
