Collection description

The Genoese cardinal Antonio Maria Sauli constitutes an interesting case study for the analysis of phenomena of singular importance of the Early Modern Age such as the social rise of the elites, their cooptation for the service of states with opposing interests and their circulation. The cardinal's curial career fluctuated between various loyalties and services: to the Republic, to the Pope, to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, to the Hispanic monarchy. This heterogeneity made his services particularly coveted for Spain at the end of the sixteenth century, a time when the pro-Hispanic faction in Rome was losing ground to France and in which Ferdinand de’ Medici exhibited a policy of progressive distancing from the Hispanic monarchy. This essay sheds light on the importance of private agents in the service of the Catholic king in securing new servants to the Catholic king's cause. At the same time, this research highlights how the polycentric nature of the Hispanic monarchy made it essential to rely on elites located in different locations – even those outside the Hispanic borders – capable of negotiating, coopting and providing different resources to achieve the Catholic king's goals.
