Abstract

During the reign of James II/VII Stuart (1685-1688), the political, diplomatic and cultural relations between the British court and the Italian states flourished as never before. This was due above all to the Roman-Catholic faith of the king and the lively personality of his consort Maria Beatrice d'Este ("Mary of Modeno"), while the growing English economic power was acquiring commercial dominance in the Mediterranean area. With the help of thousands of unpublished papers, the book by Alessandro Cont reconstructs the British diplomatic network in Italy during this period, the personalities and orientations of the ministers of Italian princes accredited to the court of Whitehall, the queen's dynastic policy and their peculiar characteristics of her Italian entourage of chaplains, servants, artists and musicians.

Abstract

Giorgio Baroni Cavalcabò (1717, Sacco près de Rovereto - 1799, Paris) fut l’un des grands aventuriers du XVIIIe siècle. Sa renommée est surtout liée au travail diplomatique et conspiratoire ardu qu’il accomplit en tant que chargé d’affaires de l’impératrice Catherine II de Russie auprès de l’Ordre de Malte (1770-1775). Courtisan, éducateur, collectionneur, négociateur, mécène et spéculateur financier, "le marquis de Cavalcabò" était en effet un cosmopolite raffiné, fascinant, entreprenant et tenace de l’époque des Lumières. Pour la première fois, le livre d’Alessandro Cont reconstitue en détail sa biographie exceptionnelle et convaincante, entre splendeur et misère, intrigues politiques et évasions audacieuses, amitiés au plus haut niveau et amours interdits. De la magnificence du baroque viennois au Paris révolutionnaire, le XVIIIe siècle est réfracté à travers le prisme de la personnalité de Cavalcabò et des aventures dans la multiplicité et la contradiction de ses aspects. -- résumé de l'auteur
