The book explores the intricate dynamics of Early Modern Naples, highlighting the crucial role of conversos—descendants of converted Jews—in supporting royal representatives. It challenges traditional narratives by showcasing how these merchants, financiers, and bureaucrats formed a shared identity that significantly influenced the political and economic landscape of the city. Through this lens, the study uncovers a more nuanced understanding of the social and cultural complexities of the time.
