Andrea Pelizza VENETIANS ROWING for THE Pelizza (saggi)_1 06/08/15 17:55 Pagina 359 Andrea Pelizza VENETIANS ROWING FOR THE OTTOMAN TURKS OTTOMAN TURKS ROWING FOR THE VENETIANS* ABSTRACT : In the long centuries of the modern age when the Mediterranean was crossed by galleys, a major concern for the navies was to obtain rowers in numbers sufficient to navigate their fleets, especially in wartime. The Republic of Venice and the Ottoman Empire were no exception, and they organized to meet the need. So even the corsair fleets of the North African Barbary states. When the free rowers were no longer sufficient, by both sides was provided, among other things, using – for the hard service of the galleys – prisoners of war and the unfortunate people caught at sea or during raids along enemy coasts. In this complex and various situation, the question of religious contrast was not always prevalent, stirring often to other more practical reasons of interest. KEYWORDS : galleys, rowers, corsairs, slaves, captives, Republic of Venice, Ottoman Empire. REMATORI VENEZIANI PER GLI OTTOMANI. REMATORI OTTOMANI PER I VENEZIANI SOMMARIO : Nei lunghi secoli dell’età moderna nei quali il Mediterraneo fu solcato dalle galee, una delle principali preoccupazioni delle marine era quella di assicurarsi i rematori in numero sufficiente a far navigare le loro flotte, specialmente in tempo di guerra. La Repubblica di Venezia e l'Impero ottomano non fecero eccezione, e si organizzarono per fare fronte alla bisogna. Così anche le flotte corsare degli stati barbareschi nordafricani. Quando i rematori volontari non erano più sufficienti, da entrambe le parti si provvedeva, tra l'altro, utilizzando nel duro servizio delle galee i prigionieri di guerra, gli sfortunati catturati in mare o durante le razzie lungo la costa avversaria. In questa complessa e diversificata situazione, la questione dell'appartenenza religiosa dell'avversario non fu sempre prevalente, mescolandosi sovente anche ad altre motivazioni d'interesse più pratico. PAROLE CHIAVE : galere, rematori, corsari, schiavi, captivi, Repubblica di Venezia, Impero ottomano. 1. Introduction 1 The aim of the following pages, through the analysis of some cases and concrete examples, will be to present a picture of the events expe - rienced by the Venetians who were assigned to row on board Ottoman galleys and by the Turks destined to the same task on board Venetian galleys, in the last two centuries of the modern age. A note of clarifica - tion: here and later, speaking of Venetian is meant to refer to the inhab - itants of the city of Venice, but also, in general, to the subjects of the Stato da Terra and of the Stato da Mar of the Most Serene Republic ( the Mainland and Maritime State of Venice ). By the term Turkish – derived * Abbreviations: Asve = Venetian State Archives. 1 I am grateful to Maria Francesca Tiepolo and Maria Pia Pedani for their careful reading of the present paper and their valuable advice. n. 34 Mediterranea - ricerche storiche - Anno XII - Agosto 2015 359 ISSN 1824-3010 (stampa) ISSN 1828-230X (online) Pelizza (saggi)_1 06/08/15 17:55 Pagina 360 Andrea Pelizza from the sources – instead, we will refer, for convenience of narration, to those who inhabited the vast territory of the Ottoman Empire. In an attempt to furnish appropriate illustration in the general his - torical context of the time, it will be necessary to propose a preliminary representation – albeit brief – of the reasons that stood at the origin of this unique experience. Mention will thus be made to the phenomenon of corsair warfare, foundation, even in time of peace, of what has been called Mediterranean slavery , and that of prisoners of war, which was rather a consequence of officially declared conflict. Both events, in fact, represented the main source of the capture of men on both sides who were then sent to row on enemy ships. 2. A hot topic: Mediterranean slavery Such a preliminary emphasis concerning the abundance, in recent years, of international historical publications on corsair warfare and Mediterranean slavery has become, one might say, a constant charac - teristic of each new contribution on the issue. The question is thus extremely current, and is in fact capable not only of arousing interest within the community of historians and specialists, but also impacting on a wider audience 2. For the latter aspect, limiting the scope to Italy, we can recall some of the latest suggestions. The first is the beatification ceremony of the Franciscan Father Francesco Zirano (a Sardinian friar particularly active in redeeming Christians who ended up as slaves of the corsairs, and who was flayed alive in Algiers in 1603), which took place in Sas - sari in October 2014. Another, of a very different order, is manifested in the so-called dramatized visit of the rooms of the Pio Monte della Misericordia in Naples – once the seat of a brotherhood that rescued the captives – animated by the narration, using professional actors, of the vicissitudes of slaves and Neapolitan redeemers 3. 2 An overview of the titles appearing after 2000 in S.

Again in Naples, examples of Oratorios composed in the late seventeenth century by the master from Apulia Gaetano Veneziano to animate the community life of the Con - gregazione della Redenzione de’ cattivi were rediscovered and conse - quently performed (in particular, La Santissima Trinità impiegata nella Concettione Immaculata di Maria , of 1693, has been recorded). Veneto responds with projects which are no less important; in Padua, in May 2014, has seen the interpretation, for the first time in modern times, of the Mass commissioned in 1765 by the Venetian Senate to the com - poser Baldassare Galuppi, to celebrate the return home of a large group of compatriots, redeemed in North Africa 4. Today, in discerning the form of Mediterranean slavery of the mod - ern age from contemporary Atlantic slavery and ancient slavery, many scholars currently make a distinction between the true slaves them - selves, on the one hand (which include those destined for the Ameri - cas), and, on the other hand, Europeans forcibly conducted into servitude in the Islamic area, to be defined as captives (not to mention the Islamics in turn abducted to Christian countries): «for these the possibility of redemption by money was more easily envisaged, espe - cially for wealthy subjects and with higher social connections» 5. The source of this particular form of slavery, the characteristics of which lasted for centuries (as has been observed, namely reciprocity, reversibility and fortuitousness), were the various forms of open or dis - guised belligerence, which for decades witnessed the opposition between the Ottoman world (in the broad sense) and many European states.

  • Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt
    Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal 2009, vol. 4 Body of Empire: Caterina Corner in Venetian History and Iconography Holly Hurlburt n 1578, a committee of government officials and monk and historian IGirolamo Bardi planned a program of redecoration for the Sala del Maggior Consiglio (Great Council Hall) and the adjoining Scrutinio, among the largest and most important rooms in the Venetian Doge’s Palace. Completed, the schema would recount Venetian history in terms of its international stature, its victories, and particularly its conquests; by the sixteenth century Venice had created a sizable maritime empire that stretched across the eastern Mediterranean, to which it added considerable holdings on the Italian mainland.1 Yet what many Venetians regarded as the jewel of its empire, the island of Cyprus, was calamitously lost to the Ottoman Turks in 1571, three years before the first of two fires that would necessitate the redecoration of these civic spaces.2 Anxiety about such a loss, fear of future threats, concern for Venice’s place in evolving geopolitics, and nostalgia for the past prompted the creation of this triumphant pro- gram, which featured thirty-five historical scenes on the walls surmounted by a chronological series of ducal portraits. Complementing these were twenty-one large narratives on the ceiling, flanked by smaller depictions of the city’s feats spanning the previous seven hundred years. The program culminated in the Maggior Consiglio, with Tintoretto’s massive Paradise on one wall and, on the ceiling, three depictions of allegorical Venice in triumph by Tintoretto, Veronese, and Palma il Giovane. These rooms, a center of republican authority, became a showcase for the skills of these and other artists, whose history paintings in particular underscore the deeds of men: clothed, in armor, partially nude, frontal and foreshortened, 61 62 EMWJ 2009, vol.

  • When the Indelible Sacrament of Baptism Met Mercantile Raison D'etat
    EMW - Workshops EMW 2008 EARLY MODERN WORKSHOP: Jewish History Resources Volume 5: Law: Continuity and Change in the Early Modern Period, 2008, Yeshiva University, New York, NY When the Indelible Sacrament of Baptism Met Mercantile Raison d'Etat Benjamin Ravid, Brandeis University, USA ABSTRACT: In theory, under almost all circumstances, once a Jew had been baptized, s/he became a Christian and any relapse constituted heresy and was liable to severe punishment, often by death. However, in the mid-sixteenth century the Papacy adopted a far more lenient policy out of considerations of commercial raison d' état and invited New Christian merchants to assume Judaism in Ancona with assurance of complete freedom from any persecution. At the same time, Venice expelled all Marranos from the city and forbade them to return. The papal attitude changed with the Counter- Reformation and former New Christians who had reverted to Judaism in Ancona were burned at the stake. However, slightly later in a step that was followed by the Medici for Pisa-Livorno, the Venetian government invited New Christians to settle in Venice freely on the condition that they assumed Judaism and resided in the ghetto as Jews and assured them that their past conduct would not be investigated. In justification, among other arguments the Venetians pointed out that since Popes had once granted such permissions, it could not be claimed that they were forbidden by canon law. An examination of select passages from the documents preserved regarding the issuing of the first charter of the Levantine and Ponentine merchants in Venice in 1589, the two opening passages of the second charter in 1598, and a consulto of the Venetian consultore in iure Paolo Sarpi will illustrate the ideological background and practical manifestations of the new attitude toward New Christians assuming Judaism and their resulting legal status, which can be seen as one of the harbingers of a new attitude of European states toward Jews determined by economic considerations of raison d’état rather than by religious concerns.

  • The Influence of Dutch and Venetian Political Thought on Seventeenth-Century English Republicanism
    The Influence of Dutch and Venetian Political Thought on Seventeenth-Century English Republicanism Amy Shields Doctor of Philosophy School of History, Classics and Archaeology Newcastle University June 2017 Abstract This thesis explores the engagement of seventeenth-century English republican thinkers, namely John Milton, James Harrington, Marchamont Nedham, Henry Neville and Algernon Sidney, with Dutch and Venetian models, theories, and experiences of republicanism. It challenges J.G.A. Pocock and Quentin Skinner's approach of tracing the origins of political ideas back to the ancient world and instead develops Franco Venturi’s emphasis on the significance of contemporary models to the development of early-modern republicanism. Chronologically the focus is c. 1640-1683 when republican ideas were at their height in England. In spatial terms, however, the approach is broader than traditional accounts of English republicanism, which tend to tell a purely national story. By adopting a transnational perspective this thesis promises to highlight the continuities and points of conflict between different republican thinkers, and in doing so challenges the idea of a coherent republican tradition. It suggests that narrowly defined and distinct definitions of republicanism do not capture the nuances in English republican thought, and that these thinkers engaged with various understandings of republicanism depending upon contextual political circumstances. The thesis looks at three significant themes. The first is the role of single person rule, an issue which has come to dominate discussions of English republicanism. By examining the ways in which English republicans understood the Dutch and Venetian models, both of which included an individual figurehead within a republican constitution, this thesis suggests that existing historiography places too much emphasis on 1649 as a turning point in English republican thought.

  • Venice to Lucerne
    Venice to Lucerne Lakes & Gardens of Italy & Switzerland May 7th - 17th 2020 Ringed by alpine peaks, the sparkling waters of the Italian and Swiss lakes command a landscape where mountains descend to meet the shores and grand hotels rise up in pretty lakeside towns. Here at the convergence of Italy and Switzerland is an area graced with shocking beauty and extraordinary diversity, where each lake with its own charms and treasures unfolds against a backdrop of semi- tropical gardens, gracious old villas, and vibrant villages. The legendary beauty of this region has enthralled visitors for centuries.
