Il ritorno dei Vespri : storia e politica nell’opera de Filadelfo Mugnos
Keywords:
Filadelfo Mugnos, Sicilian Vespers, historiography, invention of tradition.Abstract
The great event of the Sicilian Vespers, which was a revolt against the tutelage of the French king Charles of Anjou, has been a topic of reflection for many Italian historians. After taking into account the interpretations made by nineteenthcentury historians, the purpose of this article is to study the work of the historian Filadelfo Mugnos, who in his I raguagli historici del Vespro Siciliano (Palerm, 1645) gave his vision of the facts. Mugnos obviously drew on past historians such as Tommaso Fazello and Francesco Maurolico, and wrote his work in a historical and political context in which he felt necessary to reinterpret and rewrite what had taken place four centuries earlier.
