John Marino's Becoming Neapolitan explores the social and political culture of Baroque Naples (1503-1734). The book uses a variety of sources, including maps, paintings, and historical documents, to examine the complex interactions between the Spanish monarchy, the church, and the city's diverse social groups (nobility, popolo, and plebs). Marino analyzes public rituals and ceremonies to understand how they shaped civic identity and political authority. A key theme is the contested definition of citizenship and the ways in which rituals both reinforced and challenged existing power structures. The book also examines the role of patronage in shaping Neapolitan religious and cultural life, including the production of art and literature.
