Plurilingual Sovereigns ruling a Multilingual Kingdom: from Alfonso of Aragon to Ferdinand of Naples (1442-1503)
The Kingdom of Naples under the Aragonese Monarchy 1442-1503 had to negotiate between Iberian domination and Renaissance «Italian» identity.
The new rulers had to gain their legitimacy and the Italianness they lacked through the use of a particular linguistic and cultural policy based on hybridization.
Indeed, if from the literary point of view, Latin played the role of prestigious language, for the other levels of language, the creation of a «mixed» understandable language, more and more Italianized throughout the period, makes it possible to address all the social circles of all territories. It is no coincidence that one of the first authors to write in vulgar standardized Tuscan Italian at the time of the «questione della lingua» in the early 16th century was
the Neapolitan Jacopo Sannazaro.
