After a failed attempt to drive the French occupiers from Rome, King Ferdinand IV abandoned Naples, fleeing to Palermo about Horatio Nelson's ship 'Vanguard'. The French occupied the city on 21st January 1799 and the Parthenopean Republic was proclaimed. On 13th June (a month after this map was published) the Royalist counterattack arrived at Naples, backed by the British, Turks and Russians. An armistice was signed allowing the French to withdraw with the Republicans; however, Nelson intercepted the departing ships and arrested the republicans. When news reached Britain of the executions of the leaders, Charles James Fox spoke in the House of Commons denouncing Nelson's part in ''the atrocities at the Bay of Naples''.

The History of Napoleon Buonaparte
THE HISTORY OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE JOHN GIBSON LOCKHART CHAPTER I BIRTH AND PARENTAGE OF NAPOLEON BUONAPARTE—HIS EDUCATION AT BRIENNE AND AT PARIS—HIS CHARACTER AT THIS PERIOD—HIS POLITICAL PREDILECTIONS—HE ENTERS THE ARMY AS SECOND LIEUTENANT OF ARTILLERY—HIS FIRST MILITARY SERVICE IN CORSICA IN 1793. Napoleon Buonaparte was born at Ajaccio on the 15th of August, 1769. The family had been of some distinction, during the middle ages, in Italy; whence his branch of it removed to Corsica, in the troubled times of the Guelphs and Gibellines. They were always considered as belonging to the gentry of the island. Charles, the father of Napoleon, an advocate of considerable reputation, married his mother, Letitia Ramolini, a young woman eminent for beauty and for strength of mind, during the civil war— when the Corsicans, under Paoli, were struggling to avoid the domination of the French. The advocate had espoused the popular side in that contest, and his lovely and high-spirited wife used to attend him through the toils and dangers of his mountain campaigns. Upon the termination of the war, he would have exiled himself along with Paoli; but his relations dissuaded him from this step, and he was afterwards reconciled to the conquering party, and protected and patronised by the French governor of Corsica, the Count de Marbœuff. It is said that Letitia had attended mass on the morning of the 15th of August; and, being seized suddenly on her return, gave birth to the future hero of his age, on a temporary couch covered with tapestry, representing the heroes of the Iliad.

How to build a dissident public order. Actors and strategies of the Neapolitan folks’ political mobilization during the 1848 revolution Pierre-Marie Delpu When revolution broke out in Palermo on January 12 1848 and then spread throughout the whole Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, it constituted the first experience of massive po- litical mobilization in the state. It followed from a long tradition of riots and revolutions since the Early Modern period1, and very quickly became part of a wider revolutionary wave, both Italian and European, and mainly characterised by the delegitimation of the Bourbon monarchy as an institution and as a means of government.

Sir William Hamilton KB, PC, FRS, FRSE (13 December 1730 – 6 April 1803)
Sir William Hamilton KB, PC, FRS, FRSE (13 December 1730 – 6 April 1803) Married Emma Hart (Lyon) at St Marylebone Parish Church on 6 September 1791 Sir William Hamilton was a Scottish diplomat, antiquarian, archaeologist and vulcanologist. After a short period as a Member of Parliament, he served as British Ambassador to the Kingdom of Naples from 1764 to 1800. He studied the volcanoes Vesuvius and Etna, becoming a Fellow of the Royal Society and recipient of the Copley Medal. His second wife was Emma Hamilton, famed as Horatio Nelson's mistress. Hamilton was born on 13 December 1730 (or 12 January 1731) in either London or at Park Place, Berkshire, the fourth son of Lord Archibald Hamilton, governor of Jamaica and seventh son of the 3rd Duchess of Hamilton, and Lady Jane Hamilton, daughter of James Hamilton, 6th Earl of Abercorn. His mother was a favourite, and possibly a mistress, of the Prince of Wales and William grew up with his son George III, who would call him his "foster brother". At age nine, he went to Westminster School, where he made lifelong friends of Frederick Hervey and David Murray. Hamilton used to say that he was born with an ancient name and a thousand pounds; as a younger son he would have to make his own way in life. So, six weeks after his sixteenth birthday, he was commissioned into the 3rd Foot Guards as an ensign. He spent some time with the regiment in the Netherlands, and advanced to lieutenant in 1753. In September 1757 he was present as aide-de-camp to General Henry Seymour Conway at the abortive attack on Rochefort.

EC A TP H OI L IP C H A C HN U R CY H Fourth Sunday of Easter April 25, 2021 recently passed away from Covid-19. Our thoughts and prayers FROM POPE FRANCIS are with Don Romagnuolo, his family, friends and brethren, as well as the parishioners at Casamari. Requiescat in pace. NEW BLESSEDS OF CASAMARI Dear brothers and sisters, On April 17 in the Abbey of Casamari, Simeon Cardon and five companion martyrs, Cistercian monks of that Ab- bey, were proclaimed Blessed. In 1799, when French soldiers with- drawing from Naples sacked churches and monasteries, these meek disciples of Christ resisted with heroic courage, unto death, to defend the Eucharist from desecration. May their example spur us to a greater commitment of fidelity to God, even capable of transforming society and making it more just and fraternal. A round of applause for the new Blesseds! During the French invasion of the Kingdom of Naples in 1798, Napoleon’s Grande Armée installed the short-lived and widely unpopular Parthenopean Republic, a treacherous Franco- Jacobin satellite state propped up with French bayonets. Though Sicily remained in control of the Bourbons, the brutal conquest of the Neapolitan portion of the Kingdom was violent and bloody, and as so often is the case with anti-Bourbon his- torians, the abominable crimes of the Republic receive little to no attention in comparison to the loyalists’ reprisals. Among the many atrocities committed by the so-called “enlightened” conquerors, was the massacre of six Cistercian friars on May 13, 1799 at the Gothic Abbey of Casamari, bor- dering the Papal States.

ICV20 Breschi.Pub
Flags in Italy under Napoleon’s rule Roberto Breschi Abstract At the beginning of March 1796 a shabby French army of 30,000 headed by a 28-year-old gen- eral, crossed the Alps toward Italy and rapidly went from one victory to another. The recently adopted French tricolor soon replaced the dusty flags of old principalities, though several new flags were also hoisted. The latter did not last more than a few months, but one of them would have a very long history. More new flags would appear later, as Napoleon's imperial ambition progressively choked off its earlier Jacobin spirit. We must not pass through this world without leaving traces that may commend our memory to posterity. Napoleon First part It is rather mysterious what induced a 28-year old French general, Napoleon Bona- parte, to leave his newly married wife Josephine and to lead a ragged and hungry army toward an apparently desperate offensive in Italy. Did he want to challenge himself? Or to recover his faraway Tuscan roots? On the other hand, he was born in Corsica and understood Italian better than French. Or rather it was the madness of the genius? The fact is that at the beginning of March 1796 little more than 30,000 ragged troops were poised to attack Piedmont. The Kingdom of Sardinia, that in 1793 had been forced to cede Savoy and Nice to France, was in that period allied to Austria. The two nations had an army of about 100,000 men, but less than half were drilled in fighting.

The Consequences of Radical Reform: The French Revolution Daron Acemoglu, Davide Cantoni, Simon Johnson, and James A. Robinson NBER Working Paper No. 14831 April 2009 JEL No. N23 ABSTRACT The French Revolution of 1789 had a momentous impact on neighboring countries. The French Revolutionary armies during the 1790s and later under Napoleon invaded and controlled large parts of Europe. Together with invasion came various radical institutional changes. French invasion removed the legal and economic barriers that had protected the nobility, clergy, guilds, and urban oligarchies and established the principle of equality before the law. The evidence suggests that areas that were occupied by the French and that underwent radical institutional reform experienced more rapid urbanization and economic growth, especially after 1850.
