About This Book

Quest'opera ricostruisce la vita pubblica e privata di Palermo nell'ultimo ventennio del Settecento, descrivendo lo stato politico ed economico, le istituzioni municipali, l'igiene urbana e i bandi cittadini. Offre dettagli su senato e corporazioni, sui cartelli e sulle satire popolari, sulla diffusione di idee rivoluzionarie e sulla poesia politica, oltre a pratiche di viaggio per mare e per terra, corsari, locande, posta, portantine e carrozze. Analizza l'assenza dei proprietari e la condizione dei campagnoli, il fasto nobiliare, i divertimenti, le mode, i lutti, le passeggiate e le villeggiature, combinando documenti ufficiali, diari di viaggiatori e materiali poetici per ricreare costumi e consuetudini.
