Abstract
Il saggio intende indagare il contributo delle donne nel regno di Sicilia in epoca moderna in relazione al campo delle arti decorative, in qualità di committenti, mecenatici e donatrici. Si tratta di un argomento di cui si possono mettere in evidenza aspetti molteplici anche grazie a recenti studi storici e storico-artistici relativi alle corti e alle dimore nobiliari siciliane, come è noto ben inserite culturalmente a livello internazionale. Al contempo si vuole soprattutto mettere in luce un argomento ancora poco indagato: il ruolo delle donne all’interno delle dinamiche delle varie botteghe nei rapporti con gli uomini di famiglia, maestri e lavoranti, e successivamente anche il loro affermarsi come artiste, soprattutto a partire dalla seconda metà del XVII secolo, per mezzo di specifiche tecniche artistiche, determinate iconografie e precisi contesti sociali.
The essay investigates the importance of women in the Kingdom of Sicily in the modern era in relation to the specific field of the decorative arts, as clients, patrons and donors. These aspects can be highlighted also thanks to recent historical and historical-artistic studies relating to the noble courts and palaces well culturally integrated at an international level. At the same time it wants to try to highlight an aspect that is still little investigate: the weight of women within the various workshops in relations to men of their family and subsequently their affirmation as artists, especially starting from the second half of the seventeenth century for means of specific artistic techniques, certain iconography and precise social contexts.
