Among the many essays of Giuseppe Capecelatro – in which it’s evident the influence of Pietro Giannone - is of particular interest the Discorso istorico-politico dell’origine, del progresso e della decadenza del potere de’ chierici su le signorie temporali (published anonymously in Naples in 1788) in which the author took part in the controversy conducted by the Bourbon government against the Church on the so-called tribute of Chinea. The agreement reached in 1791 between the King of Naples and the Pope sent in disgrace the authors - who wrote the essays against the Chinea - in front of the Bourbon government. For this reason Capecelatro didn’t hesitate to cooperate with the revolutionaries of 1799 to reform the municipality of Taranto.

Abstract
Among the many essays of Giuseppe Capecelatro – in which it’s evident the influence of Pietro Giannone - is of particular interest the Discorso istorico-politico dell’origine, del progresso e della decadenza del potere de’ chierici su le signorie temporali (published anonymously in Naples in 1788) in which the author took part in the controversy conducted by the Bourbon government against the Church on the so-called tribute of Chinea. The agreement reached in 1791 between the King of Naples and the Pope sent in disgrace the authors - who wrote the essays against the Chinea - in front of the Bourbon government. For this reason Capecelatro didn’t hesitate to cooperate with the revolutionaries of 1799 to reform the municipality of Taranto.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
