This volume offers a pioneering study of slavery in the Italian
states. Documenting previously unstudied cases of slavery in six
Italian cities-Naples, Caserta, Rome, Palermo, Livorno and
Genoa-Giulia Bonazza investigates why slavery survived into the
middle of the nineteenth century, even as the abolitionist debate
raged internationally and most states had abolished it. She
contextualizes these cases of residual slavery from 1750-1850,
focusing on two juridical and political watersheds: after the
Napoleonic period, when the Italian states (with the exception of
the Papal States) adopted constitutions outlawing slavery; and
after the Congress of Vienna, when diplomatic relations between the
Italian states, France and Great Britain intensified and slavery
was condemned in terms that covered only the Atlantic slave trade.
By excavating the lives of men and women who remained in slavery
after abolition, this book sheds new light on the broader
Mediterranean and transatlantic dimensions of slavery in the
Italian states.
