The ancient book is the beating heart from which everything begins, it is a fascinating and authentic tool that helps not only to explore history, but also to trace those oddities of the past that sometimes transform into excellence, and in this case into bibliographic rarities. Thoughts, authors, printers, phrases, writings, dust and bindings, all to search for that corner of history that has remained hidden for too long. Ancient books as witnesses of stories, ancient books as collectibles, ancient books and even ancient books, because with mute silence we invite

ANTONIO SALVATORE ROMANO

«Un dio, un re o la morte»

Chiesa e Stato a Napoli tra rivoluzione

e prima restaurazione borbonica (1799-1802)

Following the disastrous fall of the Neapolitan Republic in 1799, among the most illustrious victims of the first Bourbon Restoration was also the elderly Cardinal Giuseppe Maria Capece Zurlo (1711-1801), Archbishop of Naples from 1782. On the basis of an in-depth archival and bibliographical investigation, the author reconstructs the phases of the forced collaboration of the Neapolitan Curia with the republican authorities and with the French military leaders and the subsequent period of the Archbishop's exile in the abbey palace of Loreto di Montevergine, with serious consequences for the complicated government of the Church of Naples. Furthermore, the volume highlights how the very tight state control over ecclesiastical institutions rigidly imposed by Ferdinand IV of Bourbon, Queen Maria Carolina and their most trusted advisors had contributed to significantly weakening relations between the Kingdom of Naples and the Holy See at the dawn of the 19th century, in a perverse intertwining of politics and religion.
