Delle missioni diplomatiche di età moderna rimangono documenti che raccontano lo stesso viaggio da prospettive diverse, ma la lettura comparativa di questi testi non ha ancora riscontrato un adeguato interesse. L'articolo analizza due diari di viaggio in Polonia del nunzio apostolico Andrea Santacroce e del suo segretario Giovan Battista Fagiuoli, con particolare attenzione sulle prime impressioni della missione. Ambedue i testi, inediti in Italia e trascurati dalla critica, sono incorporati in memorie autobiografiche che mettono in primo piano la figura del narratore-viaggiatore. Gli stessi avvenimenti vi si presentano in ottiche diverse: quella di un romano e di un fiorentino, di un ecclesiastico e di un laico, di un inviato della Santa Sede e di un poeta satirico. L'articolo vuole mostrare la relatività dei punti di vista nella scrittura autobiografico-odeporica italiana di fine Seicento, fornendo così un nuovo contributo alle ricerche sulla letteratura di viaggio e alla storia del genere autobiografico.

The article focuses on Bruno II of Colgene, Germany and the metropolitan who really and the Trier and Cologne archbishop elections of 1130 and 1131. It mentions Emperor Heinrich V (1106–1125) and those present approved papal legates on the praise before Worms after violent conflicts and lengthy negotiations found a compromise on the disputed aspects in the establishment of the bishops of the Roman-German Empire. It also mentions voters as well as elected turned to Pope Innocent II.

Camillo Cattaneo, who was the agent of Marquess Francesco Gonzaga di Castiglione, appears in the services of the papal Curia and the pope's diplomats at the beginning of the 17th century. He managed to use his good relations with the imperial courtiers and administrators, in particular with Johann Barvitius, to the advantage of the Curia's interests. By these unofficial channels, Cattaneo accomplished various different matters and succeeded in a vast range of affairs. Cattaneo's career in the papal services reached its apex in the first half of the 17th century when he became the agent and client of the Borghese family and informed Rome in his regular correspondence about important affairs at the imperial court. He undoubtedly played an important part in the appointment of Cardinal Scipione Borghese as the new Cardinal-protector of Germany. Unfortunately, he did not gain the trust of the papal nuncio in Prague, Giovanni Salvago, who sent discrediting evidence against him to Rome, which proved that Cattaneo nurtured further patronage relationships. This was the case with Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini whose relations with the Borghese family were strained. Cattaneo became another example of an agent who lost his own credibility by playing several roles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Il contributo indaga i rapporti tra il notariato pubblico nella provincia ecclesiastica di Salisburgo e la curia papale a Roma su tre piani, quello dei diplomi notarili spediti dalla provincia ecclesiastica di Salisburgo a Roma o viceversa; delle pratiche personali seguite da diversi notai di Salisburgo presso la curia; dei notai della provincia ecclesiastica di Salisburgo che si recavano di persona a Roma. In questo contesto si considerano da una parte i documenti tramandati a livello regionale, dall'altra parte le voci nel „Repertorium Germanicum" che vi si ricollegano. Emerge che i notai pubblici contribuivano, con il rilascio di deleghe e procure, in maniera fondamentale al funzionamento delle pratiche delegate. A Roma stessa si poteva ottenere l'autorizzazione di operare come notaio papale o imperiale, e questa strada fu scelta anche da chierici provenienti dalla regione di Salisburgo. I notai che a Roma riuscirono ad ampliare il mandato imperiale con quello papale, aggiunsero alla loro sigla talvolta due chiavi decussate – un motivo che veniva utilizzato di frequente dai notai autorizzati dal papa. This paper investigates the relations between the public Notariat in the ecclesiastical province of Salzburg and the Papal Curia in Rome on three levels: that of the notarial certificates send from the ecclesiastical province of Salzburg to Rome and vice versa; the personal files overseen by various notaries from Salzburg at the Curia; the notaries from the ecclesiastical province of Salzburg who personally travelled to Rome. In this context we consider on the one hand the documents dispatched on a regional level, on the other the corresponding entries in the „Repertorium Germanicum". It emerges that public notaries, by issuing proxies and mandates, made a fundamental contribution to the functioning of the procedures delegated. In Rome itself, it was possible to obtain authorization to work as a Papal or Imperial notary, and this path was also chosen by clerics from the Salzburg region. The notaries who managed to extend their imperial mandate with a Papal one in Rome sometimes added two decussate keys to their monograms, a motif frequently employed by the notaries authorized by the Pope.

Im Rahmen der Erneuerung der Studien zur politischen und diplomatischen Geschichte Italiens analysiert dieser Beitrag die Dynamiken des frühen Quattrocento mit dem Ziel, ein neues Licht auf die verflochtenen Beziehungen zu werfen, die die Republik mit den Legaten von Bologna unterhielt, die in den zwanziger Jahren des 15. Jahrhunderts aufeinander folgten (Carrillo, Condulmer, Alamanni). Die vorliegende Studie zeigt daher anhand der Schnittmenge von Archivdokumentation und vorhandener Bibliographie Elemente und Wirkungen der florentinischen Diplomatie mit diesen päpstlichen Vertretern auf und zeigt nicht nur die Bedeutung solcher Verhandlungen im Konflikt mit Filippo Maria Visconti, sondern auch, dass bestimmte sukzessive politische Entwicklungen gerade in diesen Verbindungen grundgelegt waren. Within the context of a renewal of Italian diplomatic studies, this essay analyses Florentine diplomatic strategies during the early decades of the 15th century, with the aim of shedding light on the close relationships between Florence and the legates of Bologna in the 1420s (Carrillo, Condulmer, Alamanni). Using both archival sources and the scholarly bibliography, the paper illustrates the features and effects of Florentine diplomacy with these papal representatives. This study demonstrates not only the importance of these negotiations within the wars against Filippo Maria Visconti but also how some future developments in Florentine politics and society originated from the bonds established in this period with these prelates.

Fernando VII went from being the «Wished» to being labeled as king «Felón». Perhaps in his mediocrity, he was not up to the time he lived. His legacy corroborates that: Spain was mired in the Carlist wars, the bloodiest and longest civil strife in its modern history, and the country became a second-rate nation in the European environment. The Apostolic Nuncio appears as dean of the body of almost all nations. The antiquity and experience of the Roman Curia need no introduction. In critical times, the Holy See has traditionally enjoyed prestige for its political tact and capacity for concord. Francesco Tiberi lives in Spain in the final years of the Old and beginning of New Regime, which keeps a certain parallelism with the political transition that took place after the death of Franco. Although the two situations were resolved differently. The last one was a peaceful step, while the former one was the opposite. For the study of the subject, the offices of the Nuncio and the responses of the Vatican Secretariat of State were used. The circumstance includes that the director of the Thesis, professor Federico Suárez, expert in the reign of Fernando VII, for his historical studies, was in favor of the Carlist cause and yet for his priestly ministry was appointed chaplain of a Bourbon king, Juan Carlos I. But even in that he always acted with a sofisticated professionalism.. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article the author with the help of the memoirs of the Vatican diplomat Agostino Casaroli, the archives of the Slovenian Religious Commission, and existing scientific works presents some of the significant aspects of the relationship between the Holy See and Yugoslavia in the period from 1953 to 1970. The author explains that after the unilateral termination of diplomatic relations with the Holy See in December 1952, the path for the renewal of diplomatic relations was opened in the middle of the 1960s due to the interest of the Yugoslav side as well as due to the reconciliatory stance of the Yugoslav bishops towards the regime authorities and the start of the opening of the universal Church towards Communist countries. Issuing from the agreement between the Holy See and Yugoslavia, which was signed in June 1966 under the name Belgrade Protocol, semi-official diplomatic relations were established between the countries in November of the same year on the level of government delegations and which were given the form of ordinary diplomatic relations with the promotion of government delegations into the embassy and Apostolic Nunciature in August 1970. Based on the restored diplomatic relations, an intense cooperation between the Holy See and Yugoslavia was developed in the field of international politics, while relations between the Church and the regime in Yugoslavia visibly lagged behind relations between the states.

This article analyzes the epistolary circuit that linked the first nunciature of Spanish America-set up in 1830 in Rio de Janeiro-with the defenders of the Pope's authority in Argentina. The study seeks to understand up to what point the ecclesiastical government's patronage logic changed after the Independence, how the Pope was present in the churches of Rio de la Plata, and how this presence was mediated by the activities of local Ultramontane ecclesiastics. To achieve this goal, the author uses the collected letters found in the Archive of the Nunciature of Rio de Janeiro, conserved in the Archivio Segreto Vaticano (Italy). Using this information it is possible to reconstruct the channels through which news and ideas circulated between ultramontane groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study is based on a document stored in the diplomatic archives of the Italian Foreign Ministry, an overview of the internal life of the diplomatic corps accredited in Bucharest in 1946. The document's author, Pietro Gerbore, charge d'affaires ad interim of Italy in Bucharest, describes the diplomatic life in the Romanian capital. The diplomats in Bucharest are already grouped into political blocks, each of them not communicating with the other: the block under soviet influence and the block of all Western democracies. The thankless situation of the Apostolic Nuncio in Bucharest is also reflected in the acephalic state of the diplomatic corps in the Romanian capital and highlights the Soviet ambassador's tendency to take over leadership of the foreign representative corps. The Italian diplomat criticizes the performance of the U.S. representatives in Bucharest, as well as the attitude of the USSR and satellite countries' diplomats, that have abandoned diplomatic traditions. The most illustrious members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Bucharest are considered ambassadors of Sweden and Denmark. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article charts the diplomatic and political career of the papal nuncio to Germany between the two world wars, Eugenio Pacelli, the later Pope Pius XII.
