Resumen de Los Quartieri Spagnoli: la proyección urbana de la comunidad española en la Nápoles virreinal
- español
La construcción de los Quartieri Spagnoli en la ciudad de Nápoles comenzó en 1533, durante el virreinato de Pedro de Toledo (1532-1533), con el objetivo de separar al os militares del ejército español allí asentados del resto de la población. Sin embargo, los individuos que habitaron esta parte de la ciudad fueron muy diversos, siendo el principal lugar de residencia del resto de los españoles que llegaron a Nápoles durante los siglos XVI y XVII. A partir del análisis de las fuentes de archivos napolitanos, se pondrá el foco en la variedad de esferas de influencia generadas por la presencia española. Más allá de los centros de poder formales se incidirá en las instituciones que nacieron en la nueva área urbana -iglesias, corporaciones de nación y viviendas-, y la organización social y familiar que se generó alrededor de ellas. De esta forma, se presentará un sistema urbano, nada discreto e íntimamente conectado vertical y horizontalmente a través de los contactos sociales que establecieron los individuos que lo poblaron.

The construction of the Quartieri Spagnoli in the city of Naples began in 1533, during the viceroyalty of Pedro de Toledo (1532-1533), with the objective of separating the Spanish military stationed there from the rest of the population. However, the people who inhabited this part of the city were very diverse, and itbecame the main place of residence for other Spaniards who arrived in Naples during the 16th and 17th centuries. By analyzing the sources from the Neapolitan archives, the focus will be on the various spheres of influence generated by the Spanish presence. Apart from the formal centers of power, attention will be given to the institutions that emerged in the new urban area -churches, national corporations, and houses-, as well as the social and family organization that developed around them. In this way, an urban system will be presented, which is far from discreet and intimately interconnected vertically and horizontally through the social connections established by its inhabitants, serving as one of the foundations of the Neapolitan viceroyalty system.The construction of the quartieri spagnoli in the city of Naples began in 1533, during the viceroyalty of Pedro de Toledo (1532-1533), with the objective of separating the Spanish military stationed there from the rest of the population.
