This 1994 book provides a meticulous examination of the ideology,
structure, and functions of papal police as they operated in the
city and province of Bologna in the period before Italian unity. In
doing so, it also offers an important new perspective on the
Risorgimento in the region. The author argues that after the
Restoration the papal government maintained much of Napoleon's
police apparatus in order to enhance its absolute power as an
administrative monarchy; but the new police soon found themselves
incapable of dealing effectively with the prevailing problems of
the day, including political conspiracy, rampant unemployment,
widespread poverty, and endemic crime in city and countryside
alike. In 1828 and 1847 the papal government was forced to allow
Bologna's elites to arm themselves in posse-style 'citizen
patrols'. On each occasion the patrols became a rallying point of
reform and, eventually, revolution.
