Abstract

The purpose of this study is the identification and reconstruction of the common thread linking the two Aragonese kingdoms of Sardinia and Valencia, and in particular the two cities of Cagliari and Valencia, both of which were the seats of viceroys and Mediterranean ports – through the governance of some viceroys ruling in both kingdoms during the Baroque period. The splitting of the publication into three parts – the first of a historical-institutional nature, the second related to the representation of power and the third focused on a real case of artistic patronage – makes it possible to identify three areas of investigation.
