OUR TOWN: Capua Capua is a town in the Italian region

of Campania, southern Italy.

Capua was one of the largest cities of the Roman Empire. It was called

altera Roma (second Rome) by Cicero.

Founded by the Etruscans in the fifth century, it was destroyed and

looted by the Saracens in the tenth century. Its population fled to

Casilinum and created what is now the modern Capua

Riviera Casilina Castle of the stones -Tower of the Norman

princes

Cristo Morente (DyingChrist) – Cathedral of

Capua

As we can see from the timeline, the Kingdom of Naples started in

1442 with Alfonso V of Aragon, the first Aragonese king of Naples.

and it ended in 1501 with Frederick, the last king of the Neapolitan

branch of the house of Trastámara

With the death of the childless queen Joanna II of the Anjou-

Durazzo house, the kingdom of Naples was claimed by the French

René of Anjou and Alfonso V king of Aragon, Sicily and Sardinia.

They were both adoptive sons.

In 1442 Alfonso V conquered Naples and became the king

In 1447, Filippo Maria Visconti appointed alfonso heir of the

duchy of milan, but the lombard nobility established a republic,

the golden Ambrosian Republic (aurea repubblica ambrosiana)

Ferdinand I was King Alfonso’s heir.

Ferrante’s reign was at risk, the nobles from

the Region of Campania started a revolt that

was organized in the Malconsiglio castle in

1485, And was crushed in 1487, thanks to

Milan and Florence.

Despite the political issues, Ferrante was a

patron of the arts like his father, Alfonso.

He had a lot of children, among which the

famous Beatrice.

Capua was one of the few residences of the Aragonese

kings other than Naples, thanks to its strategic location

The Aragonese Kings, Ferrante, Alfonso and

Ferrandino, who Also had the title of “Prince of

Capua“, in particular, intervened directly on the

administration and the economy of the city.

During the Aragonese period, Capua was

chosen by the Crown for ordinary and special

cerimonies and its cathedral became the

undisputed protagonist of this period. It’s right

in the cathedral that Frederick I of Aragon was

crowned... And, it was also in the very same

cathedral that the General Parliament of the

kingdom was held. The nobles met in formal

assembly in the church on 26th July 1458.

THE RENAISSANCE

The Renaissance was a period

in European history, ranging

from the 14th century to the

16th century. It was a period of

change, discoveries, inventions

and artistry.

RENAISSANCE IN THE SOUTH OF ITALY

Whilst northen Italy was made up

of several indipendent states,

Southern Italy was not really

indipendent since it was ruled first

by the Angevins (1282-1442) and

then by the Aragonese (1442-

1504).

RENAISSANCE IN THE SOUTH OF ITALY

Despite the common belief, the

Aragonese Viceroyalty in Southern

Italy actually was home to many

artists and scientists over the course

of the Renaissance, such as Torquato

Tasso, Giordano Bruno, Lorenzo

Valla, Caravaggio and a multitude of

less known ones.By Mutxamel - Own work, CC BY 1.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=11216137

HUMANISM

Humanism is a philosophical and ethical

stance that emphasizes the value and

agency of human beings and prefers

critical thinking and evidence over

acceptance of dogma or superstition.

The term comes from humanae litterae

or studia humanitatis, which were the

classical subjects defined humanae

because created by humans.

BEATRICE OF ARAGON

Beatrice of Aragon, daughter

of Ferdinand I, king of Naples,

was born in Naples in 1457.

She was Queen of Hungary

between 1475 and 1500. In

1501 she returned to Naples

where she died in 1508 at the

age of 50.

BEATRICE’S FIRST HUSBAND: MATTHIAS CORVINUS

• Beatrice of Aragon was promised to

Matthias Corvinus, king of Hungary, and

married him on 22nd December 1476.

The marriage secured an alliance

between Naples and Hungary but it was

childless.

• Matthias intended to designate John, his

illegitimate son, as his successor, but

after his death in 1490, Beatrice made

sure that John would never ascend the

throne.

BEATRICE’S SECOND HUSBAND:VLADISLAUS II OF HUNGARY

• In an attempt to preserve her throne, after Matthias’ s

death, Beatrice married Vladislaus, the king of Bohemia,

who was elected king of Hungary by the Diet of

Hungary in 1490.

The marriage was celebrated on 4th October 4 1490. The

couple had no children and Vladislaus II claimed that, as

he wasn’t granted a divorce from his first wife by the

Pope, his marriage to Beatrice was not legal and he

questioned it. Based on a formal error committed by the

bishop in the marriage ceremony, the king asked and

obtained the annulment of the marriage by Pope

Alexander VI in 1500, thus forcing Beatrice to return to

Naples (1501)

BEATRICE'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE RENAISSANCE• During her reign Beatrice exerted a strong influence

in Hungary’s policy and culture. She introduced the

Italian Renaissance into the Hungarian court. She

was a patron of Italian artists and writers whom she

invited to Buda to foster the growth of Renaissance

culture in Hungary too.

• Among other initiatives, she is responsible for the

establishment of one of the most important libraries

of her time, the Bibliotheca Corviniana in Buda castle.

With its very large number of volumes, the library

was second only to the Vatican collection.
