This book addresses the interplay between collaboration and
resistance during the Revolutionary/Napoleonic era in the Duchies
of Parma, Piacenza and Guastalla, renamed States of Parma in 1802
and Department of Taro in 1808. Considered no more than a docile
backwater in 1796, the country exploded in violent rebellion at the
end of 1805, to the astonishment of the French imperial
establishment and of Napoleon himself. Yet, the insurgency - duly
suppressed by the French military - did not beget further
confrontation. French administrators determined to demonstrate that
the empire was a force for good and local citizens compelled to
reassess their circumstances realistically settled for cooperation
in the form of protracted give and take arrangements. In recounting
the events, this book highlights local agency and the myriad ways
Parma's population harnessed the power of empire to shape what
eventually became the Napoleonic legacy in the region.
