Prelude to Napoleon

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Parma went from boom to bust, that is, through a period of intense French-inspired reforms under the administration of Du Tillot, prime minister to Duke Philip de Bourbon (1749–1771), followed by categorical rejection of the same reforms under his son and heir, Ferdinand. The duchies underwent a conservative restoration just as Enlightenment-inspired reforms were taking root in neighbouring regions, most notably in Lombardy and Tuscany. Future French administrators had to contend with this background, atypical for Northern Italy.
