Winter 2012 FRIENDS No. 21 of the Non-Catholic Cemetery in Rome N E W S L E T T E R th Special issue on the 18 century. Plus, index to Newsletter issues 1-21 THE FIRST BURIAL WAS IN 1716! Editor’s note: How and when did the Cemetery start? We now have some answers to these questions. It has long been suspected that the first burials were made in the 1720s but Professor Corp (below) provides both a firm date (1716) and a historical context: from the start, it was the Pope who conceded to Protestants the right to burial next to the Pyramid. This is an important breakthrough in our understanding of this his- toric site and its role in Rome’s history. In this special 8-page issue devoted mainly to the 18th century, we announce some new discoveries (such as graffiti dated 1774) and re-assess some earlier ones. Our regular columns of ‘Who they were’ and ‘How others see the Cemetery’ also focus on the 18th century, before we come up to date again with news of current events. J.A.Merigot.

As a result, many English and Scottish Jacobite Protestants (Anglicans The Glorious Revolution in England and Scotland in the winter of and Episcopalians) began to arrive in Italy. -
Swedish Royal Ancestry Book 4 1751-Present
GRANHOLM GENEALOGY SWEDISH ANCESTRY Recent Royalty (1751 - Present) INTRODUCTION Our Swedish ancestry is quite comprehensive as it covers a broad range of the history. For simplicity the information has been presented in four different books. Book 1 – Mythical to Viking Era (? – 1250) Book 2 – Folkunga Dynasty (1250 – 1523) Book 3 – Vasa Dynasty (1523 – 1751) Book 4 – Recent Royalty (1751 – Present) Book 4 covers the most recent history including the wars with Russia that eventually led to the loss of Finland to Russia and the emergence of Finland as an independent nation as well as the history of Sweden during World Wars I and II. A list is included showing our relationship with the royal family according to the lineage from Nils Kettilsson Vasa. The relationship with the spouses is also shown although these are from different ancestral lineages. Text is included for those which are highlighted in the list.

The Business Organisation of the Bourbon Factories
The Business Organization of the Bourbon Factories: Mastercraftsmen, Crafts, and Families in the Capodimonte Porcelain Works and the Royal Factory at San Leucio Silvana Musella Guida Without exaggerating what was known as the “heroic age” of the reign of Charles of Bourbon of which José Joaquim de Montealegre was the undisputed doyen, and without considering the controversial developments of manufacturing in Campania, I should like to look again at manufacturing under the Bourbons and to offer a new point of view. Not only evaluating its development in terms of the products themselves, I will consider the company's organization and production strategies, points that are often overlooked, but which alone can account for any innovative capacity and the willingness of the new government to produce broader-ranging results.1 The two case studies presented here—the porcelain factory at Capodimonte (1740-1759) and the textile factory in San Leucio (1789-1860)—though from different time periods and promoted by different governments, should be considered sequentially precisely because of their ability to impose systemic innovations.2 The arrival of the new sovereign in the company of José Joaquin de Montealegre, led to an activism which would have a lasting effect.3 The former was au fait with economic policy strategy and the driving force of a great period of economic modernization, and his repercussions on the political, diplomatic and commercial levels provide 1 For Montealegre, cf. Raffaele Ajello, “La Parabola settecentesca,” in Il Settecento, edited by Giovanni Pugliese Carratelli (Naples, 1994), 7-79. For a synthesis on Bourbon factories, cf.

Ceremonial Demarcations. the Viceregal Court As Space of Political Communication in the Spanish Monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico 1621–1635)
Ceremonial Demarcations. The Viceregal Court as Space of Political Communication in the Spanish Monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico 1621–1635) Christian Büschges In political and political-historical pamphlets of the Enlightenment and the nineteenth century as well as in traditional political history, ceremony has been seen as an embellishing, vain, and superfluous accessory of the ‘real’, rational, political acts that were regulated by legal norms and institutions. Modern historiography, on the other hand, taking into account sociological and ethnological approaches, emphasises the specific rationality and political nature of ceremony, which is, in turn, only a form of expressing the symbolic dimension inherent in every political communication and interaction.1 At the early-modern court the function of ceremony, which stood out from the spontaneous, individual, everyday acts, lay in making visible the system of monarchical rule and the social and political ranks inherent in it. Ceremony granted the courtiers a visible position in the oft-disputed curial ranking and at the same time fitted external visitors into this symbolic representation of hierarchy.2 Using the example of the court of Louis XIV of France, Norbert Elias, in his study on the ‘court society’ (Die höfische Gesellschaft), which sparked the revival of modern court research, considered ceremony as an exclusive instru- ment of power of monarchical absolutism.3 While Elias coined the image of the court as a ‘golden cage’ used by the absolutist ruler to domesticate the nobility, he also pointed out the ‘very specific network of interdependencies’ that connected the king as primus inter pares to the noble court society and 1 Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger, ‘Zeremoniell als politisches Verfahren. -
Così Jacob Philipp Hackert Scriveva Al Barone Offemberg Von Mitau Il 16 Novembre Del 1790. Gli Raccontava Del Suo Soggiorno

Così Jacob Philipp Hackert scriveva al barone offemberg von Mitau il 16 novembre del 1790. gli raccontava del suo soggiorno nelle province del regno di napoli nel periodo in cui Ferdinando IV di Borbone, tra il 1787 e il 1794, com - missionò all’artista prussiano la serie delle vedute dei porti del regno . In un’altra lettera dalla Sicilia così scriveva al conte dönhoff: «Carissimo conte, ho ricevuto la vostra piacevole lettera in Sicilia dove mi sono fermato per ben tre mesi, compresa la costa della Calabria fino a reggio. Il re mi ha mandato qui con una piccola felouque ben armata, con 12 uomini, per realizzare la suite dei porti del regno. In Calabria ho trovato ben poco di valore per un pittore, escluse l’isola di Cerella e diamante. reggio è molto pittoresca ma totalmente distrutta dal terremoto. In compenso mi sono rifatto in Sicilia. anche se Messina era stata quasi del tutto rovinata dal terremoto, si è già di nuovo ripresa e quasi del tutto ricostruita, in parte per gli aiuti del governo, in parte perché è un porto libero […] i prospetti di qui sono certamente tra i più belli che si possono vedere in Eu - ropa» ( CIoFFI , 2004, scheda a cura I. -

He summons a masked character named Pulcinella to rescue a buffalo calf called Sarchiopone from the forsaken palace. Together, man and beast, embark on a long journey through a lost and beautiful Italy, searching for something which may no longer exist. Shot on expired 16mm stock, Lost and Beautiful is a ravishing work that (after The Mouth of the Wolf) presaged the arrival of an extraordinary new filmmaker.

He immediately started out to explore the landscapes of the surrounding countryside. He set off on foot to the Alban Hills accompanied by the Swedish sculptor Johan Tobias Sergel (1740-1814) and the French painter Antoine François Callet (1741-1823) in the spring of 1769. Goethe in his biographical comments on Hackert notes: In the company of these two artists they [sic!] also undertook a short journey to Frascati, Grotta Ferrata, Marino, Albano, Nemi and so forth in the spring, to first acquaint themselves in a general way with the beauties of nature in these places.1 Mediterranean varieties of indigenous tree previously unknown to him almost certainly excited Hackert’s interest on this first journey on foot. Documents show that he had begun to make drawings of trees from nature while he was still in Berlin. -
