Abstract
Abstract The late seventeenth century in Genoa presents aspects of great fascination, some of which are largely unexplored, as in the case of relations with Rome (city, court and Curia). These were decades in which Genoa tried to find an alternative route to the Spanish Mediterranean, to relaunch its navy towards the Levant and the Far East (as an ideal goal). Its diplomats for this purpose went to Constantinople, London and Holland, although their most important forum remained Rome, the court of the courts, where, from the death of Urban VIII Barberini (1644) onwards, they managed tough negotiations, assisted by the most eminent prelates of their nation. The crisis of the protectorate (for the entire second half of the seventeenth century, Genoa did not have a cardinal protector) and that of St. John the Baptist, a national church, hospital and confraternity, is also inscribed in this framework of relations. Furthermore, from the pontificate of Innocent X Pamphilj (1644–55) onwards, the postmaster generals of Genoa had the task of renewing and managing communications between the Holy See and the nunciature in Madrid, the apostolic see to which the papacy entrusted the task of mediating between Spain and France, in view of the agreements of Westphalia (1648) and the Pyrenees (1659).
17世纪晚期的热那亚呈现出非常迷人的方面,其中一些方面在很大程度上尚未被探索,例如与罗马的关系(城市,法院和教廷)。在这几十年里,热那亚试图找到一条通往西班牙地中海的替代路线,重新将其海军部署到黎凡特和远东(作为一个理想的目标)。为了这个目的,它的外交官去了君士坦丁堡、伦敦和荷兰,尽管他们最重要的论坛仍然是罗马,法院的法院,在那里,从乌尔班八世巴贝里尼去世(1644年)起,他们在该国最杰出的主教的协助下进行了艰难的谈判。保护国的危机(在整个17世纪下半叶,热那亚没有一个红衣主教保护国)和施洗者圣约翰(一个国家教堂、医院和兄弟会)的危机也被列入这一关系框架。此外,从Innocent X Pamphilj(1644-55)的教皇任期开始,热那亚邮政局长的任务是更新和管理罗马教廷与马德里大使馆之间的联系,鉴于威斯特伐利亚(1648)和比利牛斯山脉(1659)的协议,罗马教廷委托使徒座在西班牙和法国之间进行调解。
