OUR TOWN: Capua Capua is a town in the Italian region
of Campania, southern Italy.
Capua was one of the largest cities of the Roman Empire. It was called
altera Roma (second Rome) by Cicero.
Founded by the Etruscans in the fifth century, it was destroyed and
looted by the Saracens in the tenth century. Its population fled to
Casilinum and created what is now the modern Capua
Riviera Casilina Castle of the stones -Tower of the Norman
princes
Cristo Morente (DyingChrist) – Cathedral of
Capua
As we can see from the timeline, the Kingdom of Naples started in
1442 with Alfonso V of Aragon, the first Aragonese king of Naples.
and it ended in 1501 with Frederick, the last king of the Neapolitan
branch of the house of Trastámara
With the death of the childless queen Joanna II of the Anjou-
Durazzo house, the kingdom of Naples was claimed by the French
René of Anjou and Alfonso V king of Aragon, Sicily and Sardinia.
They were both adoptive sons.
In 1442 Alfonso V conquered Naples and became the king
In 1447, Filippo Maria Visconti appointed alfonso heir of the
duchy of milan, but the lombard nobility established a republic,
the golden Ambrosian Republic (aurea repubblica ambrosiana)
Ferdinand I was King Alfonso’s heir.
Ferrante’s reign was at risk, the nobles from
the Region of Campania started a revolt that
was organized in the Malconsiglio castle in
1485, And was crushed in 1487, thanks to
Milan and Florence.
Despite the political issues, Ferrante was a
patron of the arts like his father, Alfonso.
He had a lot of children, among which the
famous Beatrice.
Capua was one of the few residences of the Aragonese
kings other than Naples, thanks to its strategic location
The Aragonese Kings, Ferrante, Alfonso and
Ferrandino, who Also had the title of “Prince of
Capua“, in particular, intervened directly on the
administration and the economy of the city.
During the Aragonese period, Capua was
chosen by the Crown for ordinary and special
cerimonies and its cathedral became the
undisputed protagonist of this period. It’s right
in the cathedral that Frederick I of Aragon was
crowned... And, it was also in the very same
cathedral that the General Parliament of the
kingdom was held. The nobles met in formal
assembly in the church on 26th July 1458.
THE RENAISSANCE
The Renaissance was a period
in European history, ranging
from the 14th century to the
16th century. It was a period of
change, discoveries, inventions
and artistry.
RENAISSANCE IN THE SOUTH OF ITALY
Whilst northen Italy was made up
of several indipendent states,
Southern Italy was not really
indipendent since it was ruled first
by the Angevins (1282-1442) and
then by the Aragonese (1442-
1504).
RENAISSANCE IN THE SOUTH OF ITALY
Despite the common belief, the
Aragonese Viceroyalty in Southern
Italy actually was home to many
artists and scientists over the course
of the Renaissance, such as Torquato
Tasso, Giordano Bruno, Lorenzo
Valla, Caravaggio and a multitude of
less known ones.By Mutxamel - Own work, CC BY 1.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=11216137

HUMANISM
Humanism is a philosophical and ethical
stance that emphasizes the value and
agency of human beings and prefers
critical thinking and evidence over
acceptance of dogma or superstition.
The term comes from humanae litterae
or studia humanitatis, which were the
classical subjects defined humanae
because created by humans.
BEATRICE OF ARAGON
Beatrice of Aragon, daughter
of Ferdinand I, king of Naples,
was born in Naples in 1457.
She was Queen of Hungary
between 1475 and 1500. In
1501 she returned to Naples
where she died in 1508 at the
age of 50.
BEATRICE’S FIRST HUSBAND: MATTHIAS CORVINUS
• Beatrice of Aragon was promised to
Matthias Corvinus, king of Hungary, and
married him on 22nd December 1476.
The marriage secured an alliance
between Naples and Hungary but it was
childless.
• Matthias intended to designate John, his
illegitimate son, as his successor, but
after his death in 1490, Beatrice made
sure that John would never ascend the
throne.
BEATRICE’S SECOND HUSBAND:VLADISLAUS II OF HUNGARY
• In an attempt to preserve her throne, after Matthias’ s
death, Beatrice married Vladislaus, the king of Bohemia,
who was elected king of Hungary by the Diet of
Hungary in 1490.
The marriage was celebrated on 4th October 4 1490. The
couple had no children and Vladislaus II claimed that, as
he wasn’t granted a divorce from his first wife by the
Pope, his marriage to Beatrice was not legal and he
questioned it. Based on a formal error committed by the
bishop in the marriage ceremony, the king asked and
obtained the annulment of the marriage by Pope
Alexander VI in 1500, thus forcing Beatrice to return to
Naples (1501)
BEATRICE'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE RENAISSANCE• During her reign Beatrice exerted a strong influence
in Hungary’s policy and culture. She introduced the
Italian Renaissance into the Hungarian court. She
was a patron of Italian artists and writers whom she
invited to Buda to foster the growth of Renaissance
culture in Hungary too.
• Among other initiatives, she is responsible for the
establishment of one of the most important libraries
of her time, the Bibliotheca Corviniana in Buda castle.
With its very large number of volumes, the library
was second only to the Vatican collection.
