LA CASA E LA FAMIGLIA DI MASANIELLO
A vivid portrait of 17th‑century Naples unfolds through the intimate world of Masaniello’s home and family. The narrative weaves together the rhythms of daily life—family meals, cramped apartments, and neighborhood gossip—with the larger currents of rebellion and political intrigue that defined the city’s streets. Listeners are invited to imagine how ordinary households navigated the pressures of a society on the brink of upheaval.
The author’s deep‑rooted love for his native city fuels a painstaking examination of archival records, parish registers, and forgotten letters. By drawing on these rare sources, the work sheds fresh light on the social fabric, customs, and personal relationships that shaped Naples during its most turbulent century. It offers both scholars and curious ears a richly detailed, human‑scaled glimpse into a bygone world, where the fate of a single household mirrors the larger story of a city forever caught between glory and strife.
