Abstract
Far from any kind of nationalist rhetoric, Villari initiated an important debate on concepts such as homeland, nation, and loyalty in the Early Modern Age. He would often return to these subjects during his research. Thanks to his extensive knowledge of seventeenthcentury societies and his skilful use of both published and unpublished historical sources, he understood the key role played by the Mezzogiorno d’Italia. According to him, Southern Italy was indeed the place where patriotic and libertarian aspirations had already appeared in the second half of the seventeenth century and found fertile ground in the following decades as well. In the Kingdom of Naples, for instance, the traditional subservience among the single stakeholders began to break down and, in the context of the Neapolitan Republic led by Masaniello, a new political vocabulary came to life.
与任何民族主义修辞不同,维拉里在近代早期发起了一场关于祖国、民族和忠诚等概念的重要辩论。在他的研究中,他经常回到这些问题上。由于他对17世纪社会的广泛了解,以及他对已出版和未出版的历史资料的熟练运用,他了解意大利Mezzogiorno d 'Italia所起的关键作用。根据他的观点,意大利南部确实是爱国主义和自由意志主义在17世纪下半叶就已经出现的地方,并且在接下来的几十年里也找到了肥沃的土壤。例如,在那不勒斯王国,单一利益相关者之间的传统从属关系开始瓦解,在马萨涅洛领导的那不勒斯共和国的背景下,一种新的政治词汇开始活跃起来。
