This book studies family life and gender broadly within Italy, not
just one region or city, from the fourteenth through the
seventeenth centuries. Paternal control of the household was
paramount in Italian life at this time, with control of property
and even marital choices and career paths laid out for children and
carried out from beyond the grave by means of written testaments.
However, the reality was always more complex than a simple reading
of local laws and legal doctrines would seem to permit, especially
when there were no sons to step forward as heirs. Family disputes
provided an opening for legal ambiguities to redirect property and
endow women with property and means of control. This book uses the
decisions of lawyers and judges to examine family dynamics through
the lens of law and legal disputes.
