Abstract

The essay presents a biographical profile of the lawyer Domenico Acclavio, whose efforts in the various offices of Commissioner distributor of domains in 1809 and Intendant of the province in 1811 was instrumental in the implementation in Terra d'Otranto of the administrative and tax reforms enacted by the French Government. In particular, it’s analyzed the numerous circulars, instructions and orders addressed to the mayors of the municipalities of the Province which show his protective policy of the petty bourgeois and artisan class developed particularly in Salento which aroused strong opposition from the propertied classes. His dismissal from that position of Intendant was determined by drafting in 1818 of a severe report sent to the Minister Tommasi on general disapproval that the concordat with the Holy See had aroused in the province, in which the author expressed a clear sharing of anticurialism according to Pietro Giannone, recalling arguments largely used in the literature on the abolition of hackney.
