| Summary: | During the period which saw the suppression of small convents in Italy following the Instaurandae regularis disciplinae papal bull, between 1652 and 1660, several hundred petitions were sent to Pope Innocence X requesting to avoid such closures. Suppressing small convents was likely to alter not only those areas that communities could use for religious functions but also those used for social activities. Thus a change in the political and social dynamics of the old regime can be seen, at times caused by the elimination of certain things while, at other times by the introduction of new things. In this case petitions became one of the tools used to legitimize local choices and to reorganize religious and social areas.This research aims at analyzing a corpus of petitions written in a specific case enabling the following points to be investigated: the institutional contexts they were written in, how they were drawn up and the political and social effects achieved.To achieve this aim, I assessed the importance of the unique nature of the local situation in the relationships between the subjects involved, in order to identify how social groups, Rome and local institutions communicated.At the core of this research lies an accurate investigation into the relationship between the event which determined the writing of the petitions themselves and the effects they had and thereafter. |
