In 1545 Pope Paulus III invested his illegitimate son Pier Luigi with the lands south of the Po River that were formerly part of the Duchy of Milan. Centered around the city of Parma, Pier Luigi's heir Ottavio would aquire Piacenza establishing the Farnese as Dukes of Parma and Piacenza. His decendents continued to rule until their extinction in 1731, whereby it passed through the Heiress Elisabetta Farnese to the Spanish Bourbons.

Description

Illegitimate son of Alessandro Farnese (aka Pope Paul III), Pier Luigi was created Duke of Parma and Piacenza in 1545 by his father the Pope. Ruling with an iron fist, he incurred the wrath of the local nobility who hung him from a window in his palace. Piacenza was occupied by Imperial troops, whilst Pope Paul III tried reclaiming Parma for the Church, ignoring his grandson Ottavio's right to the succession. In the ensuing civil war, Ottavio ultimately emerged victorious outwitting his grandfather the Pope and his father-in-law Holy Roman Emperor Karl V to become Duke of Parma.

His tenure saw major Spanish gains, with many of the 'Malcontents' returning to the Spanish fold while those against King Philip II were brought to heel by his military prowess.

Description

The reign of Ranuccio I witnessed a cultural renewal in Parma. His patronage of the arts and architecture gave Parma the famous Farnese theatre and Pilotta Palace. Farnese also revitalized the University of Parma and upgraded the city walls. Yet his overriding concern was curbing the power of his Barons who often acted independently and against his wishes. With them he showed a darker side. On one occasion he publicly executed 100 people suspected of plotting against him!

Description

In the late XVIIth century, the disuse of the Mediterranean sea as the main international trade junction between Europa and the East Indies brought the Italian economic system to collapse. Italy became more removed from the mainstream of European development and each local administration along the peninsula lagged behind that of any other European contemporary. The practice of agriculture as prevailing economic activity meant the coming back to power of the most conservative landowning aristocracy. That economic backwardness associated with the effects of Counterreform deeply affected Italian social life too, now less and less inclined to accept innovation and to develop some entrepreneurial attitude.

Description

In 1733, the death of August II prompted a new election for the Polish monarch. Due to the permanent practice of Liberum Veto and the ensuing constant bribery, the Polish Sejm was unable to agree between the French Candidate, Stanislaw Leszczynski and his opponent, August III of Saxony, supported by Austria and Russia. The Sejm finally agreed on Stanislas, but this was rejected by Austria and Russia starting the war of Polish Succession. The war ended with August III on the Polish throne. All members of the House of the Bourbons are requested to stay tight against the Habsburg threat.

In 1735, Carlo resigned Parma to Karl VI in exchange for the Emperor's recognition of his conquest of the Two Sicilies.

Action B, C of 170120 - The Diplomatic Revolution for France

Description

In 1740s the problem of Maria Theresia's succession to the Austrian throne and to the Habsburg inheritance caused a big instability in the European balance of powers which led to the War of Austrian succession. The peace that followed the conflict, provoked by the foreign opposition to the Pragmatic Sanction stated by the former Emperor Charles VI and ended with the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, resulted in a well defined rivalry between major European powers forming essentially two main political formations: the alliance of the socalled 'Bourbon family pact' (France, Spain, Naples and the latest Parma, all with members of the same House of Bourbons) with Prussia and the alliance between Austria, Russia and England. Disappointed by England's interested approaches to the emerging power of Prussia wich led to the Convention of Westminster, a treaty with which both countries would avoid any foreign military presence or access in the German territories, Austria strengthened her political ties with Saxony, Russia and Sweden and started new diplomatic handlings with France, traditionally an arch-enemy of the Habsburgs since the old dispute over the Burgundian inheritance but for sure the most powerful antagonist to the rising British colonial empire. And an alliance with France would also mean the support of Spain and the Bourbon Italian monarchies. That diplomatic move would lead to a huge world conflict fought in the years between 1756 and 1763: the socalled 'Seven Years War'.

Action A of 251051 - The Castro Wars (1641-1649) for Papal States

Description

Fought against the expansionist policies of the Papacy, it began with the Papal seizure of Ferrara when the legitimate d'Este line ended in 1598. They also absorbed Urbino when its ruling family, the della Rovere died out in 1631. Moreover the Pope insisted on papal primacy, making every bishop in northern Italy a petty tyrant and straining relations with the local ruling princes. When Pope Urban VIII banned Parmesan grain imports then occupied Farnese Castro for failing to repay Roman creditors, Duke Odoardo Farnese responded with his own military expedition with his allies Modena, Tuscany and Venice (who all lost lands to the Pope). After a crushing the Papal Army at Lagoscuro in 1644 the ban was lifted and Farnese compelled to continue repaying his debt. The conflict was renewed in 1649 by Odoardo's successor Ranuccio II who discontinued the payments rendered by his father to the Roman creditors. In response Pope Innocent X reoccupied Castro and razed the city, compelling Farnese to cede Castro and its nearby territories to the Papacy.

Action A of 338236 - The plague in Parma for Emilia

Description

The Spanish hegemony in the Italian peninsula was exercised by means of heavy bureaucracy and harsh taxation directly in the Habsburg dominions of Milan and Naples and indirectly in the rest of the peninsula by forcing the other minor Italian states to respect Spanish economic and diplomatic directives. The vassalage to Spain, which granted to some extent an enduring peace in Italy afer the Italian Wars, which the historians would call 'the pax hispanica', together with the disuse of the Mediterranean sea as international trade route towards the East Indies brought the Italian economic system to eventually collapse. As a result of this agriculture will become the prevailing economic activity in Italy until the end of XIXth century. That meant the coming back to power of the landowning aristocracy.
