The Shroud at the Court analyses, through various essays
characterized by a multidisciplinary and diachronic perspective,
the strict ties created between the Shroud and the Savoy court from
the fifteenth to twentieth centuries. Presented as proof of the
divine legitimacy of Savoy lineage, the Shroud (of which the Savoy
dynasty came into possession in 1453, keeping it first in Chambery
and then from 1578 in Turin) was central to their propagandistic
strategies. The court - its spaces, protagonists, and rituals -
became the natural setting for a relationship reinforced over time
through customs, ceremonies, and images intended to celebrate the
excellence of the Savoy, both within their own state and in
Europe's "society of princes". Contributors are Paola Caretta,
Paolo Cornaglia, Paolo Cozzo, Davide De Franco, Bernard Dompnier,
Laura Gaffuri, Pierangelo Gentile, Luisella Giachino, Andrea
Merlotti, Frederic Meyer, Andrea Nicolotti, Almudena Perez de
Tudela, Laurent Ripart, Alessandro Serra and Franca Varallo.
