Abstract
The Neapolitan Diary (1798-1825), published by the Neapolitan society of homeland history in 1906 and attributed to the enigmatic neapolitan lawyer Carlo De Nicola, is recognized by historiography as one of the most reliable sources for the reconstruction of a historical period decisive for the history of the Kingdom of Naples. Yet we know little or nothing of the author who is listed as a conservative partisan bigotry of Ferdinand IV of Bourbon. The essay reconstructs, through unpublished archival documents, the biography of the author and offers a new and more faithful biographical sketch of the same along with a detail of his work regarded as an expression of thought-class Neapolitan lawyer in front of major changes between the end of the Eighteenth century and the beginning of the next century.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
