Abstract
From different angles of interpretation, the article examines the lives of women in Procida, an island of the Kingdom of Naples before the unification of Italy. From the invented story of a double-faced bust clearly visible on a window on the island to the homage paid to the powerful women of the sea by the priest and martyr of the Neapolitan Republic of 1799 Marcello Eusebio Scotto of Procida in his 1788 Nautical Catechism. The study deals with the profile of women and their economic power in the maritime domain, an exclusively male prerogative for centuries.File in questo prodotto:
