| biography:
| Politician and historian, born in Naples, Campania, SW Italy. He was an officer in the Bourbon army, then became Joachim Murat's aide-de-camp, and was one of the negotiators of the Casalanza treaty (1895) with which Murat gave up the Kingdom of Naples. He was exiled by the Bourbons for his support of the 1820 Neapolitan revolution. His political theory, which believed that civilizations developed through a gradual increase of political consciousness, rather than revolution, influenced the Risorgimento moderates (Storia del Reame di Napoli dal 1734 al 1825, 1834). |
