  • This essay focuses on the public image of King Charles II of Habsburg and his wife Mariana of Neuburgh in Palermo and Naples, and more broadly with the crafting of a public royal imagery for the late Habsburgs during the war of Spanish Secession. The author analizes drawings for three projects, deviced by architect Giacomo Amato and his artistic partners, the painters Pietro Aquila and Antonino Grano. The essay revindicates the importance of viceregal patronage in the fields of the decorative arts (in particular silversmith and goldsmith), and ephemeral architecture. It also contends that the Spanish capital port of Palermo was formally and stylistically connected with the court of Madrid rather than Rome
