Abstract

In 1737, after the War of the Polish Succession, the Presìdi of Tuscany were assigned to the new Kingdom of Naples. King Charles of Bourbon had to face several problems, deciding how to manage a distant and quite particular space. The Presìdi, in fact, were not a colony, but a sui generis territory, regulated until then by medieval statutes and substantially self-managed. The King’s choice was to normalise the territory administration by carrying out a reform path aimed at a substantial centralisation. For the Presìdi, this meant the end of their particularity and their final suppression in 1796.
