| Description: |
This study examines the intertwined trajectories of the Spanish College of San Clemente in Bologna and the urban elites between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, from the decline of the Bentivoglio regime to the death of Piriteo II Malvezzi. By integrating prosopographical analysis, Social Network Analysis, and geo-statistical methods, the research highlights how both scholars and local oligarchs navigated the shifting political landscape of early modern Italy. The college, initially a charitable foundation, progressively positioned itself as a key institution for producing royal administrators and for embedding Spanish influence within Bologna. In parallel, the Malvezzi family and their allies constructed a pro-Habsburg faction that capitalised on dynastic rivalries, papal alliances, and military service to the Spanish monarchy. Through formal and informal networks, these actors connected the local sphere to wider imperial circuits, securing privileges, patronage, and symbolic capital. The study demonstrates that the convergence of collegial and aristocratic strategies not only facilitated the integration of Bolognese elites into the Habsburg system but also generated a shared Hispanophile narrative that legitimised their authority. In doing so, it sheds light on the dynamics of urban power, transnational sociability, and the cultural politics of loyalty in Renaissance Italy. |
