This broader picture of court politics and diplomatic networks – which also relied on familial and kin ties – provides a way of studying the political role of women in early modern Europe. This role has to be studied taking into account the overlapping of familial and political concerns, where the intersection of women as mediators and coordinators of extended networks is a central feature of European societies.
  • 10. Chapter 3 Transformation from Naples to Ferrara 139–186

    10. Chapter 3 Transformation from Naples to Ferrara 139–186

    Chapter 3 Transformation: From Naples to Ferrara On 24 May 1473, Eleonora d’Aragona, accompanied by a vast entourage of Neapolitan and Ferrarese nobles, left Naples to begin the long overland journey to Ferrara. Travelling across half of the Italian peninsula, via the Papal States, Siena, Florence and Faenza, they would reach Ferrara on 3 July 1473 having been on the road for six weeks. The journey took on the character of a state visit as Eleonora stopped along the way at towns where she and her inner circle were met by local dignitaries and accommodated at the expense of the town’s leading citizens. The most significant of these visits was to Rome where Eleonora’s comitiva remained for five days, entertained at vast expense by the young cardinal, Pietro Riario, on behalf of his uncle, Pope Sixtus IV. The political significance of Eleonora’s nuptial journey, particularly her visit to Rome, has been greatly illuminated by the discovery of two documents in the Archivio di Stato in Modena. These documents are edited and translated for the first time in the Appendix as Documents 3 and 4. Both are sets of instructions, composed for Eleonora’s guidance along the way, one by Ferrante, while the other can be safely attributed to Diomede Carafa. While the primary concern of both men was to ensure that Eleonora appeared in the best possible light in her meetings with civic and religious leaders along the way, particularly in her audience with Sixtus IV, the tone of their instructions reflects their differing priorities: Ferrante’s were power and influence, Carafa’s were style and protocol.

  • 11. Chapter 4 Procreation the Early Years of Marriage 187–223

    Chapter 4 Procreation: The Early Years of the Marriage The first years of her marriage to Ercole d’Este were a period of transition and adaptation for Eleonora: transition from her life as a relatively minor member of her father’s court in Naples, surrounded by a loving extended family and guided by a group of skilled and devoted mentors of the calibre of Diomede Carafa, and adaptation to life at a “foreign” court as the wife of a ruler almost twice her age, with the responsibilities which that position entailed, adaptation to new cultural traditions, climate and diet, and to doing without many of the men and women who had supported her as she grew to young womanhood. This chapter will follow Eleonora through the more significant events of the first four years of her marriage, including the birth to three children, two daughters and finally the longed-for son, and her successful defence of them from a violent coup d’état attempt by Niccolò di Leonello. Her contacts with Naples were limited to letters, of which very few survive in the Archivio di Stato in Modena, and to the visits of members of her family, her younger brother, Federigo, and sister, Beatrice, both passing through Ferrara en route to further destinations, and of dignitaries, such as Diomede Carafa’s son, Giovanni Tommaso, who conveyed Ferrante’s Order of the Ermine to Ercole in late 1475. Ercole honoured his wife by accommodating these visitors and entertaining their parties with lavish banquets, tournaments and days of hunting at both his city and country estates.

Flaten, Coastal Carolina University Chair: Charles Rosenberg, University of Notre Dame Presenter: Stephen K. Scher, Independent Scholar Paper Title: Reggio Emilia, Milan, and the Mannerist Medal in Italy Abstract: In the entire history of medallic art there is little that can compare with the curious and fantastic group of medals centered upon Reggio Emilia in the sixteenth century. With an oblique reference to Leone Leoni’s medal of Ippolita Gonzaga and the similar piece by Jacopo da Trezzo, the Emilian medallists, whose work is usually uniface and cast in a lead alloy, produced a series of portraits of great originality. Both male and female subjects are clothed in agitated, filmy garments, and, in the case of the latter, with richly coiffed hair as if they were participating in some elaborate court masque. Often they are presented on pedestals following the form of ancient busts, with arms cut off just below the shoulder. This paper will attempt to discover the sources of such fascinating imagery as an element of Italian Mannerist art, and explain its presence in the medallic context. Presenter: Raymond B. Waddington, University of California, Davis Paper Title: Breaking News: Representing the Other on Portrait Medals Abstract: One purpose of the portrait medal has always been to make accessible the faces of famous people, whether from the past or in the present. During an age of exploration and increasing crosscultural encounters, a particular and neglected function was the representation of foreigners.

    ABSTRACT Title of Document: LYING WITH THE SAINTS: HEAVENLY BODIES AND EARTHLY BODIES IN THE SUCCORPO OF SAN GENNARO Nicole Riesenberger, Master of Arts, 2011 Directed By: Professor Meredith J. Gill, Department of Art History and Archaeology In January 1497, when the powerful Carafa family translated the relics of San Gennaro, patron saint of Naples, to the city’s cathedral, a devastating plague that had ravished the region is said to have immediately ceased. The presence and miraculous power of the saint’s relics give meaning to the Succorpo, Cardinal Oliviero Carafa’s funerary chapel in the cathedral. This magnificent foundation serves two functions: first, it is the private funerary chapel of Carafa and select members of his family; second, it is the locus of the cult of San Gennaro himself. My thesis examines the chapel’s dual functions and explores the iconography of its decoration. I present new propositions regarding the architectural plan and artistic attributions of the chapel, and I provide a close reading of the portrait sculpture of Cardinal Carafa in the Succorpo, considering how its strategic placement informs our understanding of the program and its meaning.

Meernik, Acting Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Cassella, Dean Marcel. Culture and self-representation in the Este court: Ercole Strozzi’s funeral elegy of Eleonora of Aragon, a text, translation, and commentary. Doctor of Philosophy (History), December 2010, 206 pp., references, 138 titles. This dissertation presents a previously unedited text by one of the most distinguished— yet neglected—Latin writers of the Italian Renaissance, Ercole Strozzi (1471–1508), a poet and administrator in the court of Ferrara. Under the Este Dukes, Ferrara became a major center of literary and artistic patronage. The Latin literary output of the court, however, has received insufficient scholarly scrutiny. The text is a verse funeral elegy of Eleonora of Aragon (1450–1493), the first Duchess of Ferrara. Eleonora was a remarkable woman whose talents and indefatigable efforts on behalf of her husband, her children, and her state, won her accolades both at home and abroad. She also served as a prototype for the remarkable careers of her two daughters, Isabella d’Este, and Beatrice d’Este, who are celebrated for their erudition and patronage of arts and letters.
