CHAPTER 2: POLITICS' NEW CLOTHES Print Became the Dress CHAPTER 2: POLITICS' NEW CLOTHES Print became the dress of political reality for a growing number of Europeans in the seventeenth century. At least in comparison with the previous period, a veritable information revolution was under way. Modern analogies can be misleading. But the replacement in the seventeenth century of the earlier more desultory system of political communication was surely as difficult to ignore at the time, among those paying the closest attention to technological innovations, as the impact of electronic media has been in our own. Let us consider some important facts. For one thing, the circulation of one-time printed battle reports in pamphlet or broadsheet form, manifestoes concerning treaties, truces and successions, accounts of important weddings, funerals and entries, legal proceedings, as well as critical commentary was accompanied in many cities by the first regular newspapers. And after the first regular newspapers emerged in Strasbourg and Wolfenbüttel, they were soon followed in Antwerp, Amsterdam, Paris, London, Genoa, Milan, Turin, Naples, Bologna, Barcelona and hundreds of smaller centers. In Germany, no less than two hundred newspapers were undertaken across the century. In England, some 350 titles of news publications of all kinds appeared in the period from 1641-59 alone. And even where newspapers did not appear, production of printed news of other sorts more than doubled. Wide differences in literacy levels 2 determined wide variations in diffusion. But the general impression of jurist Ahasver Fritsch in Jena that news publications "get into the hands of everyone," was exactly echoed by engraver Giuseppe Mitelli in Bologna. 1 Indeed, in late seventeenth-century Italy, as in the Britain of Joseph Addison a half-century later, the coffee-house politician, the poor soul who passed his life engrossed in the political trivia of the time, was already the object of raillery. "You who after silly tales are lusting /Anxious to hear rumors and reports,/ Quickly, run and look at the gazettes,/ And see if the news is good, fine, or disgusting"—wailed a Paduan pamphleteer. 2 While the critics bewailed the obsession with printed news that appeared to be a fashion of the times, deeper changes were occurring beneath the sometimes gaudy surfaces of the various urban societies. In Italy, just as in France, Holland, Germany and England, to name the main places so far covered in the historiography, the diffusion of new texts for thinking about power, authority and government administration challenged some basic assumptions. 3 It raised questions about the boundaries between private life and the holy circle of sovereignty and legitimacy. 4 It contradicted apologies for monarchical absolutism that situated rulers in a one-sided dialogue with the ruled. And to the protagonists and witnesses of the political disturbances that challenged encroaching administrative control, it contributed a means of communication. In Naples it informed suggestions about radical constitutional change. And in 3 Messina, the first revolutionary newspaper, published by the provisional government, defied the Spanish monarchy. To be sure, the connection between what circulated in the press and what circulated in the minds of audiences was not obvious; nor was it direct. 5 Still less was it uniform. Stories about a rain of blood in Argentina or about a fetus in Cologne that screamed audibly from within the womb, or any number of other accounts designed to spice up the otherwise rather dreary fare, excited as much scorn among the more discerning as they did wonderment among the more credulous. 6 The same went for stories about battles never fought, celebrations that never occurred or rulers who never ruled quite in the way the press described. In case readers did not already guess that information was often deliberately manipulated by the protagonists of many of the stories for the specific purpose of diverting attention or producing admiration, they were continuously told this, occasionally in so many words, by the writers themselves. What is more, the information revolution affected political life as much by what was said as by what was not, as much by direct statements as by subtle inferences, as much by the quality of the information as by the artfulness of the invention. The more the fabric of political reality came under scrutiny, the more its precise texture seemed to fade from view. And in some quarters, expectations for more accurate pictures of the civic world were overshadowed by convictions that the construction of events was just another negotiable aspect of the discourse about power. And if the skepticism that, among some readers, eventually took the 4 place of scorn, did not reach to the very marrow of political beliefs, at least it contributed to more profound forms of skepticism due to other causes. The Information Revolution From what has been said so far, there might be good reason to wonder that any sort of information revolution at all occurred in Italy or elsewhere, even in the limited early modern sense that has been suggested here. The official attitudes examined in the last chapter continued throughout the seventeenth century to regard the distribution of political commentary of any kind as a highly delicate government concern. Officials in Venice, Rome and Florence subjected manuscript newsletters to strict regulation because of possible benefit to military rivals or detriment to popular sentiments. 7 They refused to issue printing licences even for works that spoke well of the government, when such works might provoke vulgar tongues by the mere utterance to sully the names of the great, or when excessive praise might be its own refutation—as Antonio Cartari found out when his encomium of Pope Innocent XI was banned in Rome. 8 They worried that works rebutting criticism might provide enough information about an adversary's argument to furnish ammunition to future critics—that was the case of Antonio Diana's work on ecclesiastical immunities, which was to be reprinted in Florence in 1672. 9 They worried that works published by members of the political elite might give the impression of having been endorsed by the whole 5 group. That was the case of Venetian nobleman Gian Francesco Loredan's story of the life of Albrecht Wenzel von Wallenstein. 10 And responding to particularly acute crises in the distribution of power, governments occasionally put a tourniquet on the circulation of political material of any sort—as the Genoese government did in 1611 in the wake of yet another dispute between the new and the old nobility. 11 True, none of these governments' concerns was strong enough to cause political information to disappear. We have already seen that the newsletter networks, through which state secrets leaked to the outside world, were protected by powerful patronage structures and strong incentives guaranteeing a steady supply of new recruits into the industry. An irresistible demand made other sorts of manuscripts also a widespread form of clandestine publication in Italy—as late as the early eighteenth century, when Antonio Magliabechi turned the Medici library into the hub of a distribution system stretching across the peninsula. 12 Rather than vice-versa, clandestine manuscripts often appeared to imitate printed works, as did a Roman satire on Pope Urban VIII that claimed to be "printed for Marforio"—i.e., one of the two legendary statues that served as political bulletin boards in Rome—"in the shop of Pasquino"—i.e., the other. And a print- like format could suggest prudent withdrawal of a salacious manuscript from the legitimate marketplace, as in the case of this work advertized by the Venetian newsletter copyist Paolo Angelelli: "Scene of the noble whores and the whorish nobles. Delightful entertainment for the present Carnival, 1670," which 6 he claimed to be "printed" in "Calicut, with licence and privilege," available for 20 ungari to anyone desiring the entire volume of one hundred fifty manuscript pages. As he explained, "Noble whores are the prostitutes, servants . peasants and similar worthless people married by nobles, who cuckold their husbands. You will see first of all a Pesaro who married a whore of his nephew. A Foscarini knifed by a Molino her husband. A Cornaro who took his messenger boy's streetwalker for his wife. ." 13 Copied out numerous times by hand, the work sold just like a printed pamphlet. In the case of printed material, entrepreneurial ingenuity and the black market ensured that censorship systems would never obtain the results intended. Those censors who did not actually collaborate with the printers and writers complained about being overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of material in circulation. 14 And theories about press control began to change along the lines of notions about information control in general, examined in the last chapter. To Paolo Sarpi's admission that total press control was "impossible," Fulgenzio Micanzio, his successor as consultant to Venice, added that it was useless, since it served to publicize the works being censored. 15 "In fact, many unnecessary books would otherwise simply be forgotten," he advised the Senate, "that survive because prohibition excites the desire of many to see what is so scandalous about them. ; and books that ordinarily might be read by few people end up being read by many." 16 No wonder that adventurers of the pen like Ferrante Pallavicino and Gregorio Leti exhorted fellow-writers to 7 procure censorship whenever possible in order to achieve popularity. And in making such exhortations they were only repeating a fact already well known to printers such as the Bulifon family in Naples, who recorded the rise in book orders following the prohibition of a work and connived with friendly importers in neighboring cities to bring in by stealth what they could not bring in by law.

    Luigi Pepe Volta, the Istituto Nazionale and Scientific Communication in Early Nineteenth-Century Italy* In a famous paper published in Isis in 1969, Maurice Crosland posed the question as to which was the first international scientific congress. Historians of science commonly established it as the Karlsruhe Congress of 1860 whose subject was chemical notation and atomic weights. Crosland suggested that the first international scientific congress could be considered the meeting convened in Paris on January 20, 1798 for the definition of the metric system.1 In September 1798 there arrived in Paris Bugge from Denmark, van Swinden and Aeneae from Germany, Trallès from Switzerland, Ciscar and Pedrayes from Spain, Balbo, Mascheroni, Multedo, Franchini and Fabbroni from Italy. These scientists joined the several scientists already living in Paris and engaged in the definition of the metric system: Coulomb, Mechain, Delambre, Laplace, Legendre, Lagrange, etc. English and American scientists, however, did not take part in the meeting. The same question could be asked regarding the first national congress in England, in Germany, in Switzerland, in Italy, etc. As far as Italy is concerned, many historians of science would date the first meeting of Italian scientists (Prima Riunione degli Scienziati Italiani) as the one held in Pisa in 1839. This meeting was organised by Carlo Luciano Bonaparte, Napoleon’s nephew, with the co-operation of the mathematician Gaetano Giorgini under the sanction of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Leopold II (Leopold was a member of the Royal Society).2 Participation in the meetings of the Italian scientists, held annually from 1839 for nine years, was high: * This research was made possible by support from C.N.R.

The titles bestowed on Giangaleazzo by Wenceslas, king of the Romans, in 1395 and 1396 had raised Milan initially, and then the other Vis- 2 conti territories in Lombardy, to the status of duchy . Giangaleazzo himself al- luded to his cities collectively as such: in the testament of 1397, produced in the first flush of his acquisition of the second diploma, he appointed his son Giovanni Maria heir to two areas – «the duchy, or rather the city and diocese of Milan», and «the duchy of the cities of Brescia, Cremona, Bergamo, Como, Lodi, Piacenza, 3 Parma, Reggio and Bobbio» . The duke would surely have been disappointed that his greatest achievement was not recognized on Bueno de Mesquita’s map. And yet the author’s terminology was more realistic than Giangaleazzo’s: it would take more than a dazzling diploma to create a new territory with a name and a rec- ognized identity.

  • Preface (Brief Explanation of What This Thing Is and Isn't)
    Preface In his lifetime, Marc’Antonio Pasqualini’s international fame rested on his singing, and at present count his name appears as the composer on only forty-eight seventeenth-century copies of chamber cantatas.1 At his death in 1691, however, the singer’s personal music library, which included eight volumes of cantatas written for the most part in his own hand, passed to Urbano Barberini, prince of Palestrina and the great-nephew of Marc’Antonio’s patron, Cardinal Antonio Barberini, the younger.2 This is the reason they were among the 115 manuscripts of music that the Vatican Library acquired when it purchased the Barberini library in 1902. In the twentieth century, several music historians considered these eight volumes as copies of music by unknown composers—or by Luigi Rossi—that the singer had written out for his own use.3 But they contain not only concordances with forty-two of the forty-eight cantatas that bear Pasqualini’s name, but three of them also preserve, not duplicate copies, but rather compositional drafts for many of the forty-eight and for nearly another one hundred cantatas. In addition, Pasqualini’s hand as composer and editor shows up in several other Barberini music manuscripts, indicating that these, too, must have been in his possession fifty to sixty years before his death. The Annotated List of Sources, part A (in the appendices to this catalogue) summarizes the eleven principal sources of his chamber cantatas, which are 1 Inventoried in Margaret Murata, “Pasqualini riconosciuto,” in "Et facciam dolçi canti."

  • 1 Caravaggio and a Neuroarthistory Of
    CARAVAGGIO AND A NEUROARTHISTORY OF ENGAGEMENT Kajsa Berg A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia September 2009 © This copy of the thesis has been supplied on the condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that no quotation from the thesis, nor any information derived therefrom, may be published without the author’s prior written consent. 1 Abstract ABSTRACT John Onians, David Freedberg and Norman Bryson have all suggested that neuroscience may be particularly useful in examining emotional responses to art. This thesis presents a neuroarthistorical approach to viewer engagement in order to examine Caravaggio’s paintings and the responses of early-seventeenth-century viewers in Rome. Data concerning mirror neurons suggests that people engaged empathetically with Caravaggio’s paintings because of his innovative use of movement. While spiritual exercises have been connected to Caravaggio’s interpretation of subject matter, knowledge about neural plasticity (how the brain changes as a result of experience and training), indicates that people who continually practiced these exercises would be more susceptible to emotionally engaging imagery. The thesis develops Baxandall’s concept of the ‘period eye’ in order to demonstrate that neuroscience is useful in context specific art-historical queries. Applying data concerning the ‘contextual brain’ facilitates the examination of both the cognitive skills and the emotional factors involved in viewer engagement. The skilful rendering of gestures and expressions was a part of the artist’s repertoire and Artemisia Gentileschi’s adaptation of the violent action emphasised in Caravaggio’s Judith Beheading Holofernes testifies to her engagement with his painting.

    chapter two MAFFEO BARBERINI—URBAN VIII, THE POET-POPE, OR: THE POWER OF POETIC PROPAGANDA Introduction In the early years of the pontificate of Paul V (1605–1621), an anony- mous avvisatore assembled a series of short biographies outlining the characters and characteristics of the various cardinals who would take part in the conclave if the Pope were to die. About Maffeo Barberini he wrote, after a brief sketch of his career: ‘he is a man of great talent, well versed in Italian letters, in Latin and in Greek; though more assiduous than brilliant, he is of an honourable nature, without any baseness’, which was praise indeed in view of the judgement he passed on some other eminent candidates. It also shows that, already as a cardinal, Bar- berini was known as a writer, a poet.1 Some twenty years later, when Maffeo had become Urban, the well- known literato Fulvio Testi described to a friend an evening he had spent with the Pope. Apologizing to Urban for not having written any poetry recently due to his increased work load, Testi was gently reprimanded when the Pope remarked: ‘We, too, have some business to attend to, but nevertheless for Our recreation sometimes We compose a poem’. Urban went on to tell that he had lately written some Latin poems and would like Testi to read them. ‘And hence, retreating into the next room where he sleeps, he fetched some sheets and started to read to me an ode written after the manner of Horace, which really was very beautiful. I have lauded it and praised it to the stars because certainly as to Latin compositions the Pope has few or none who equal him.’2 1 Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana (BAV), Manoscritti Boncompagni-Ludovisi,Vol.C20,f.167v: “è signore d’ingegno grande, di belle lettere vulgari, latine e greche, e piutosto asseg- nato che splendido, ma honorato, senza sordidezza”.

    The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family (Rome, 1632-1643) Virginia Christy Lamothe A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Music. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Tim Carter, chair Annegret Fauser Anne MacNeil John Nádas Jocelyn Neal © 2009 Virginia Christy Lamothe ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Virginia Christy Lamothe: “The Theater of Piety: Sacred Operas for the Barberini Family (Rome, 1632-1643)” (Under the direction of Tim Carter) In a time of religious war, plague, and reformation, Pope Urban VIII and his cardinal- nephews Antonio and Francesco Barberini sought to establish the authority of the Catholic Church by inspiring audiences of Rome with visions of the heroic deeds of saints. One way in which they did this was by commissioning operas based on the lives of saints from the poet Giulio Rospigliosi (later Pope Clement IX), and papal musicians Stefano Landi and Virgilio Mazzocchi. Aside from the merit of providing an in-depth look at four of these little-known works, Sant’Alessio (1632, 1634), Santi Didimo e Teodora (1635), San Bonifatio (1638), and Sant’Eustachio (1643), this dissertation also discusses how these operas reveal changing ideas of faith, civic pride, death and salvation, education, and the role of women during the first half of the seventeenth century. The analysis of the music and the drama stems from studies of the surviving manuscript scores, libretti, payment records and letters about the first performances.
