Analysis of the data yielded by a scrutiny of matrimonial cases in Venice, as recorded in the city’s Curia archives, and a detailed examination of a small number of case studies provide the basis for an assessment of the significance of interconfessional unions in Venetian society, with reference to marriages between Latin and the Greek Christians, up to the Council of Trento (1545-1563). This will serve to assess the impact of mixed marriage on the processes of assimilation of a religious minority – Greeks believers settled in Venice – and at the same time to evaluate its function in the mechanisms whereby the cultural identity of the community was conserved and transmitted.
Sulla base dei dati raccolti attraverso una ricognizione sistematica dei processi matrimoniali veneziani conservati nel locale Archivio di Curia e l’esame di un piccolo numero di casi di studio selezionati si cercheranno di valutare il significato e l’incidenza delle unioni interconfessionali nella società veneziana, con riferimento ai matrimoni misti tra Latini e Greci nel basso medioevo e sino al concilio di Trento (1545-1563). Si potrà così soppesare l’impatto dei matrimoni misti nei processi di integrazione di una minoranza – quella greca insediata a Venezia –, nel contempo verificandone la funzionalità nei meccanismi identitari e di trasmissione delle appartenenze etniche e confessionali.

Abstract
Analysis of the data yielded by a scrutiny of matrimonial cases in Venice, as recorded in the city’s Curia archives, and a detailed examination of a small number of case studies provide the basis for an assessment of the significance of interconfessional unions in Venetian society, with reference to marriages between Latin and the Greek Christians, up to the Council of Trento (1545-1563). This will serve to assess the impact of mixed marriage on the processes of assimilation of a religious minority – Greeks believers settled in Venice – and at the same time to evaluate its function in the mechanisms whereby the cultural identity of the community was conserved and transmitted.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
