His mother, Gueraldona Carlino,<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> was probably a woman of Neapolitan origin who in December 1423 had accompanied <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_V_of_Aragon" title="Alfonso V of Aragon">Alfonso</a> on his return to <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a>, where she later married a certain Gaspar Reverdit of Barcelona. In order to ensure a good future for his illegitimate son, his father Alfonso had called him to <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Naples" title="Kingdom of Naples">Naples</a>. At the behest of the king, on 26 July 1438 the governor de Corella, the bishop <a href="/wiki/Pope_Callixtus_III" title="Pope Callixtus III">Borgia</a>, and the young Ferrante, with their entourage of young Catalan gentlemen, set sail from <a href="/wiki/Barcelona" title="Barcelona">Barcelona</a> for <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>. Alfonso's purpose was to prepare his only son, albeit illegitimate, for the role of heir to the kingdom he was conquering. The whole company landed in <a href="/wiki/Gaeta" title="Gaeta">Gaeta</a> on 19 August, where Ferrante was reunited with his father, whom he hardly knew. A strong emotional bond soon developed between father and son, as Alfonso appreciated the young man's acute intelligence and courage, while Ferrante showed complete reverence for his parent. Alfonso, on 9 September 1438, created Ferrante a knight on the <a href="/wiki/Maddaloni" title="Maddaloni">Maddaloni</a> field where <a href="/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_of_Anjou" title="René of Anjou">René of Anjou-Valois</a>, challenged to battle, did not appear. In Naples he had as teachers <a href="/wiki/Lorenzo_Valla" title="Lorenzo Valla">Valla</a>, <a href="/wiki/Antonio_Beccadelli_(poet)" title="Antonio Beccadelli (poet)">Panormita</a>, Borgia, and Gabriele Altilio, who taught him for many years. He also had as <a href="/wiki/Tutoring" title="Tutoring">tutor</a> Paris de Puteo who taught him <a href="/wiki/Law" title="Law">law</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a> When the Sacro regio consiglio, judicial authority of the kingdom, was established by Alfonso, he was assigned the position of president.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> Following the death of his uncle <a href="/wiki/Peter_of_Aragon,_Count_of_Alburquerque" title="Peter of Aragon, Count of Alburquerque">Peter</a>, in April 1439 Ferrante was appointed lieutenant general of the kingdom. On February 17, 1440, King Alfonso, by his own authority, legitimized and declared his son his heir to the throne of Naples, and then, in January 1441, he secured the approval of the parliament of the barons of the kingdom that he had summoned in <a href="/wiki/Benevento" title="Benevento">Benevento</a> and which was then transferred to <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a>. Still in parliament, Alfonso, worried about the succession, promoted a petition, in which the barons, knowing they were doing the king a great pleasure, proposed to establish Don Ferrante as his future successor, with the title of <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Calabria" title="Duke of Calabria">Duke of Calabria</a>, usually given to the first-born of the king of Naples. Then Onorato Caetani, with the consent of all, kneeling before the king, begged him to create as Duke of Calabria and his future successor Don Ferrante, and the King with a cheerful face made him answer these words by the secretary:<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1244412712">.mw-parser-output .templatequote{overflow:hidden;margin:1em 0;padding:0 32px}.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{line-height:1.5em;text-align:left;margin-top:0}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .templatequotecite{padding-left:1.6em}}</style><blockquote class="templatequote">The Most Serene Majesty of the King thanks you infinitely Distinguished, Respectable and Magnificent Barons for the petition made in favor of the Illustrious Lord Don Ferrante, his dearest son, and to satisfy your request he entitled him from this moment, and declares him Duke of Calabria, immediate heir and successor of this Kingdom, be happy and swear homage to him from the present day<div class="templatequotecite">— <cite><a href="/wiki/Domenico_Lalli" title="Domenico Lalli">Bastian Biancardi</a>, "Le vite de Re di Napoli, Raccolte succintamente con ogni accuratezza"</cite></div></blockquote> After this, Don Ferrante Duke of Calabria and successor of the kingdom was shouted with great joy and, on March 3, 1443, the king, accompanied by his son and baronage, went to the <a href="/wiki/San_Gregorio_Armeno" title="San Gregorio Armeno">Monastery of the Nuns of San Ligoro</a>, where the mass was celebrated with public solemnity and where Alfonso gave the sword in Ferrante's right hand, the flag in his left hand, and placing the ducal circle over his head, ordered everyone to call him Duke of Calabria.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg/220px-Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="195" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg/330px-Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/91/Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg/440px-Adorazione_dei_magi_don_ferrante_di_Napoli.jpg 2x" data-file-width="588" data-file-height="522" /></a><figcaption>Don Ferrante of Naples depicted as one of the <a href="/wiki/Biblical_Magi" title="Biblical Magi">Magi</a> in the Adoration of the Magi by <a href="/wiki/Marco_Cardisco" title="Marco Cardisco">Marco Cardisco</a>, Civic Museum of <a href="/wiki/Castel_Nuovo" title="Castel Nuovo">Castel Nuovo</a>, <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a></figcaption></figure> The recognition of the rights of succession Ferrante was sealed by the Papal bull Regnans in altissimis issued by <a href="/wiki/Pope_Eugene_IV" title="Pope Eugene IV">Pope Eugene IV</a> in July 1443, and later confirmed in 1451 by <a href="/wiki/Pope_Nicholas_V" title="Pope Nicholas V">Pope Nicholas V</a>.<a href="#cite_note-test1-14">[14]</a> Ferrante in 1444 married the heiress <a href="/wiki/Isabella_of_Clermont" title="Isabella of Clermont">Isabella of Taranto</a>, daughter of <a href="/wiki/Tristan_of_Clermont" title="Tristan of Clermont">Tristan of Clermont</a> and <a href="/wiki/Catherine_of_Taranto,_Countess_of_Copertino" title="Catherine of Taranto, Countess of Copertino">Catherine of Taranto</a>, designated heir of Prince <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Antonio_Orsini_del_Balzo" title="Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo">Giovanni Antonio Orsini Del Balzo of Taranto</a>, his maternal uncle, who had no children.

The King replied: "I am that." The Castellano then asked the barons if the new king was Don Alfonso's son and they all said yes. The Castellano then, in front of all the people, handed the keys of the castle to Ferrante, who returned them to him and ordered to keep the fortress well.

In fact, Calixtus aimed to usurp the crown from Ferrante, and grant it to his own nephew, <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Luis_de_Borja" title="Pedro Luis de Borja">Pedro Luis de Borja</a>, newly installed as <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Spoleto" title="Duke of Spoleto">Duke of Spoleto</a>. Calixtus had notices posted in various places in the kingdom, where it was reported that upon Alfonso's death, the Kingdom of Naples had devolved to the Papal state.

Ferrante, in this war against Callixtus was able to count on an alliance with the Duke of Milan, not only due the kinship between the two dynasties, but also a bond that existed between them. The pope, always implacable and obstinate, refused any intercession from other rulers; so much so that Ferrante decided to send ambassadors to the Pope in the name of the kingdom.

Despite some initial refusals, the King wanted to please them. These united barons decided to urge King John of Aragon to come and conquer the kingdom that belonged to him by legitimate succession after the death of his brother Alfonso V, but King John refused. On the other hand, King Ferrante, having understood the intention of the barons, immediately sent Turco Cicinello and Antonio d'Alessandro to Spain to pray John not to lack love for his nephew the king, since he could say that the Kingdom of Naples was more his than the kingdoms of the Crown of Aragon. These Ambassadors did not encounter much difficulty in propitiating the king, as even though he wanted to conquer Naples, he did not have the necessary military forces. However, they had great difficulty in settling another plague, because Queen <a href="/wiki/Maria_of_Castile" title="Maria of Castile">Maria</a>, who was the wife of King Alfonso V, died in <a href="/wiki/Catalonia" title="Catalonia">Catalonia</a> and left her dowries, amounting to four hundred thousand ducats, to the heir John II. King John claimed that the money should be taken from the treasury that Alfonso had left to the kingdom of Naples and the ambassadors agreed to give it to him in ten years. Meanwhile, seeing his plan fail, the prince of Taranto attempted another enterprise with the help of the barons and above all of Marino Marzano, who hated Ferrante mortally because the rumor had spread that the king had committed incest with his Eleonora Marino's sister and wife. They decided to call in 1459 <a href="/wiki/John_II,_Duke_of_Lorraine" title="John II, Duke of Lorraine">John</a>, Duke of Anjou, son of King <a href="/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_of_Anjou" title="René of Anjou">René</a>, who was still in <a href="/wiki/Genoa" title="Genoa">Genoa</a>, to convince him to undertake the enterprise of conquering the throne of Naples. The latter, having received the embassy of the invitation from Marco della Ratta, immediately had galleys and ships armed. On the other hand, the Prince of Taranto, who as <a href="/wiki/Constable" title="Constable">Grand Constable</a> of the kingdom controlled the entire army, recruited commanders who depended on him and bribed them to embrace his cause. While trying to suppress the first revolts in <a href="/wiki/Apulia" title="Apulia">Apulia</a> and Abruzzo, Ferrante received the notice that the Duke John with twenty-two galleys and four large ships had appeared in the marina di <a href="/wiki/Sessa_Aurunca" title="Sessa Aurunca">Sessa</a>, between the mouth of the <a href="/wiki/Garigliano" title="Garigliano">Garigliano</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Volturno" title="Volturno">Volturno</a>.

In the meantime, Marino Marzano was trying to assassinate the king through traps and betrayals. The most important attack was the Torricella bite: Marino Marzano deceived the Catalan Gregorio Coreglia, who had been Ferrante's tutor, confiding in him that he wanted to make peace with the sovereign and ask for his grace. Having reported this message to the king, it was decided that the two should meet in a small church located in the place called Torricella near <a href="/wiki/Teano" title="Teano">Teano</a> on 29 May 1460 and it was set as a condition that each could bring two companions. Therefore, Ferrante brought with him Coreglia himself and Giovanni Ventimiglia, Count of <a href="/wiki/Montesarchio" title="Montesarchio">Montesarchio</a>, who, with a past as a man of arms over the years, was among the advisors of Ferrante, while Marino was accompanied by two leaders of the time: Deifobo dell'<a href="/wiki/House_of_Anguillara" title="House of Anguillara">Anguillara</a>, who, at the head of an army had previously forced Ferrante's troops to retreat from <a href="/wiki/Venafro" title="Venafro">Venafro</a> to <a href="/wiki/Calvi,_Campania" title="Calvi, Campania">Calvi</a>, and Giacomo da Montagano, known in the chronicles as a very dangerous and ready-handed man, who had dropped into Terra di Lavoro on <a href="/wiki/Christmas_Eve" title="Christmas Eve">Christmas Eve</a> to join the army of John of Anjou. When Marino's attempt to lead Ferrante to a more sheltered place failed, citing as an excuse not to be seen by the French, camped on the Rocca di Teano. The two began to talk and an altercation arose. Deifobo, stating that he too wanted to reconcile with the sovereign, moved to meet him in order to attack him. However, Ferrante, seeing the dagger that he was hiding in his hand, drew his sword and faced the two conspirators alone, as the count and Coreglia were held at bay from Montagano. The King got the better of them, and before his troops arrived, he managed to wound them and put them to flight. In the excitement of the battle, the dagger that had fallen from Anguillara's hand was picked up by a soldier of Ferrante and it was discovered that he was poisoned, since, having touched a dog, he instantly fell dead.

Therefore, he sent his brother <a href="/wiki/Alessandro_Sforza" title="Alessandro Sforza">Alessandro Sforza</a> and <a href="/wiki/Roberto_Sanseverino_d%27Aragona" title="Roberto Sanseverino d'Aragona">Roberto Sanseverino</a>, Count of <a href="/wiki/Caiazzo" title="Caiazzo">Caiazzo</a>, who was the son of his sister, to the king, both to advise him and also to foster a reconciliation between the king and the barons. The arrival of the Count of Caiazzo greatly raised the fate of the war, because being a relative of the <a href="/wiki/Roberto_Sanseverino,_Prince_of_Salerno" title="Roberto Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno">Count of Marsico and San Severino</a>, he negotiated with him to return loyal to the king, managing in the end to convince him. The count gladly accepted the privileges that the king offered him, including the concession of the city of Salerno with the title of Prince, to be able to mint coins, and many other privileges. The Count of Marsico, who from that moment was called Prince of Salerno, immediately sent a messenger to Pope Pius II for the acquittal of the oath he had made to Duke John when he made him his Knight. From this episode many other barons followed his example, rejecting the <a href="/wiki/Ordre_du_Croissant" title="Ordre du Croissant">Ordre du Croissant</a> of which John had honored them as Knights. Pope Pius II, with the bull of January 5, 1460, absolved from the oath all those who had taken the Ordre du Croissant from John and undid this Confraternity. The agreement between the Prince of Salerno and the King overturned the war in favor of Ferrante because it opened the way for him to reconquer Calabria, since the lands of the Prince of Salerno from <a href="/wiki/Mercato_San_Severino" title="Mercato San Severino">San Severino</a> to Calabria belonged to him, to the Count of <a href="/wiki/Capaccio_Paestum" title="Capaccio Paestum">Capaccio</a>, to the Count of <a href="/wiki/Lauria" title="Lauria">Lauria</a>, or to other followers of his lineage. The prince of Salerno then went with Roberto Orsini to conquer it. He managed to take Cosenza, which was sacked, <a href="/wiki/Scigliano" title="Scigliano">Scigliano</a>, Martorano, <a href="/wiki/Nicastro" title="Nicastro">Nicastro</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bisignano" title="Bisignano">Bisignano</a>, and in a short time almost the whole province returned to the king.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Meanwhile, Pope Pius II sent his nephew Antonio Piccolomini to help the king with 1000 horses and 500 foot soldiers, managing to reconquer the Terra di Lavoro. At the same time the Duke of Milan sent a new aid, with which he managed to reconquer many lands in Abruzzo. In the meantime, the king went to Lucera in Apulia, where Duke John lived, and who with a large army, was waiting for the Prince of Taranto. Many cities surrendered to Ferrante, such as San Severo, Dragonara, many lands of Mount Gargano, and finally <a href="/wiki/Monte_Sant%27Angelo" title="Monte Sant'Angelo">Sant'Angelo</a>. The king went down to the underground church of that famous <a href="/wiki/Sanctuary_of_Monte_Sant%27Angelo" title="Sanctuary of Monte Sant'Angelo">sanctuary</a>; he found a great deal of silver and gold, not only what had been donated for the great devotion to the sanctuary; but also what had been brought by priests from the nearby lands. Having noted it, he took it, promising after the victory to return everything; and with that silver he immediately had that coin called "Li Coronati di S. Angelo" struck, which benefited him a lot in this war.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> <a href="/wiki/Skanderbeg" title="Skanderbeg">Gjergj Kastrioti</a>, nicknamed Skanderbeg, came to help King Ferrante from <a href="/wiki/Albania" title="Albania">Albania</a> with numerous ships, 700 horses, and 1000 veteran infantrymen.

Skanderbeg then had his soldiers gathered and raised their spirits by inspiring him with gratitude for the Aragonese and rekindling in them the love of glory. <a href="/wiki/Jacopo_Piccinino" title="Jacopo Piccinino">Jacopo Piccinino</a>, who commanded the allied army and observed its discomfort, demanded and obtained a truce. However, because he foresaw an unhappy end, he decided not to maintain the truce.

The following day they came to arms and the Albanian, animated by the example of their leader and the King, fully defeated the enemy army, and Piccinino and John of Anjou were forced to flee. In this battle, four thousand enemies fell, and a thousand others remained prisoners with twenty-five flags and the victors, rich in the spoils of the vanquished, celebrated the triumph for 8 days. When Ferrante returned to Naples, the inhabitants welcomed him with lively cheers and renewed the sacrament of fidelity.

However, the appearance of Skanderbeg in the area of Trani was enough for the downfall of such a rogue and he was pardoned by the King, therefore not being punished. Inanto, the gratitude that bound him to the Skanderbeg was not silent in Ferrante's heart and, wanting to give him a sign, he gave him to his own and perpetual heritage Trani, <a href="/wiki/Siponto" title="Siponto">Siponto</a>, and <a href="/wiki/San_Giovanni_Rotondo" title="San Giovanni Rotondo">San Giovanni Rotondo</a>, a city in Puglia and therefore opposite Albania.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Bartolomeo_Roverella" title="Bartolomeo Roverella">Cardinal Roverella</a>, Apostolic Legate, who was in Benevento, managed to bring the side of Ferrante Orso Orsini and, after this episode, even the Marquis of Cotrone and the Count of Nicastro reconciled with the king.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-2-29">[29]</a> <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_II_of_Naples" title="Alfonso II of Naples">Alfonso</a>, Duke of Calabria, Ferrante's eldest son, who was less than 14 years old, was sent by his father under the protection of Luca Sanseverino to subdue Calabria.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-2-29">[29]</a> The king, on the other hand, managed to defeat his enemies in Capitanata, took Troia, and entirely subdued that province.

After the battle, the ranks of Ferrante's enemies constantly fell apart. Only the Terra di Lavoro remained to be subdued beyond the Volturno and Abruzzo, where the Duke <a href="/wiki/John_II,_Duke_of_Lorraine" title="John II, Duke of Lorraine">John</a> had fortified himself. The Prince of Rossano, on the other hand, was at war in Sora, where the Pope's army, urged by Ferrante for the assault, did not want to move, claiming that the Pope had not sent him to help the king, as there was no more need given that the Duke of Anjou was exhausted by the war, but that they had been sent only because the Pope demanded that the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Sora" title="Duchy of Sora">Duchy of Sora</a>, the county of <a href="/wiki/Arpino" title="Arpino">Arpino</a>, and that of Celano having once been the territory of the <a href="/wiki/Papal_States" title="Papal States">Church</a>, were returned to him. In order not to get involved in new disputes, he decided to give the county di Celano to Antonio Piccolomini, nephew of the Pope and his son-in-law, with the condition that he recognize the king as supreme lord. Pope Pius then died, and with the same condition he gave the Duchy of Sora to Leonardo della Rovere, nephew of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Sixtus_IV" title="Pope Sixtus IV">Pope Sixtus</a>. Returning to the war, finally the Prince of Rossano capitulated, and through Cardinal Roverella, the peace treaty was concluded with some conditions, including a new parental bond: Ferrante had to grant Giambattista Marzano, son of Marino, his own daughter <a href="/wiki/Beatrice_of_Naples" title="Beatrice of Naples">Beatrice</a>, who was immediately sent to Sessa by her aunt Eleonora as a sign of peace. Marino was subsequently imprisoned by Ferrante, who had already taken possession of all his fiefdom. The <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Antonio_Orsini_del_Balzo" title="Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo">Prince of Taranto</a>, seeing the situation degenerate because of the king, who was reaching him to conquer it, asked him for peace. Ferrante did not refuse it and sent <a href="/wiki/Antonello_Petrucci" title="Antonello Petrucci">Antonello Petruccio</a>, his secretary, with Cardinal Roverella, the Pope's legate, to negotiate the conditions of the armistice with the Prince's ambassadors. Among the conditions of the armistice, there was that the prince was expelled from Puglia and the Duke John from all his fiefs. The <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Antonio_Orsini_del_Balzo" title="Giovanni Antonio Orsini del Balzo">Prince</a> retired to <a href="/wiki/Altamura" title="Altamura">Altamura</a> where he died shortly after, not without the king's suspicion of poisoning.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> On November 16, the death of Giovanni Antonio Orsini Del Balzo, <a href="/wiki/Principality_of_Taranto" title="Principality of Taranto">Prince of Taranto</a>, deprived the Angevin front of its most influential boss and financier. With his death, the original plan of Alfonso V of Aragon to make Taranto the pivotal principality in his and his heirs' hands was realized. The Apulian fiefdom was inherited by his wife Isabella and became a fundamental strength for Ferrante's resources.<a href="#cite_note-test1-14">[14]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_last_Angevin_stronghold">The last Angevin stronghold</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: The last Angevin stronghold">edit</a>]</div> In September 1463 Duke John, abandoned by his allies, agreed with the king to go on the <a href="/wiki/Ischia" title="Ischia">island of Ischia</a>. After subduing Apulia, <a href="/wiki/L%27Aquila" title="L'Aquila">L'Aquila</a>, and Abruzzo, Ferrante faced only the reconquest of Ischia, the last Angevin bulwark, where the Duke of Anjou had retired, and which was defended by the brothers Carlo and Giovanni Toreglia; these with eight galleys infested the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_of_Naples" title="Gulf of Naples">Gulf of Naples</a> to such an extent that King Ferrante asked for the intervention of his uncle John II of Aragon, who sent him Galzerano Richisens with numerous Catalan galleys. In the spring of 1464 John of Anjou, having seen himself isolated and defeated, left with two galleys for <a href="/wiki/Provence" title="Provence">Provence</a>. After the Catalan army came, which he was no longer in need of, Ferrante gave a great gift to General Toreglia and sent the army back. When Duke John left the kingdom, he left a good memory to some peoples and nobles thanks to his numerous virtues, so many knights followed him to the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_France" title="Kingdom of France">France</a>, including Count Nicola di Campobasso, Giacomo Galeota, and Rofallo del Giudice. The Duke John arrived in Provence and was called by the <a href="/wiki/Catalans" title="Catalans">Catalans</a>, who had rebelled against King John II of Aragon, an event for which Ferrante very rejoiced, as if the Duke John, his father René, and the King of Aragon were engaged in waging war with each other and would not have constituted a danger to Naples. Meanwhile, the <a href="/wiki/County_of_Barcelona" title="County of Barcelona">County of Barcelona</a> had rebelled against King John and had called King René to govern him. Ferrante, warned of the war, sent some militias to Catalonia to help his uncle.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Twenty_years_of_prosperity">Twenty years of prosperity</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Twenty years of prosperity">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Marriage_policy">Marriage policy</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Marriage policy">edit</a>]</div> After having triumphed against his enemies and subdued the whole kingdom, Ferrante thought of restoring it from the damage of the seven years of war that had upset him. First of all, through political marriages, he tried to keep the kingdom safe and therefore decided to marry his eldest son Alfonso with <a href="/wiki/Ippolita_Maria_Sforza" title="Ippolita Maria Sforza">Ippolita</a>, daughter of the <a href="/wiki/Francesco_I_Sforza" title="Francesco I Sforza">Duke of Milan</a>, the eldest daughter <a href="/wiki/Eleanor_of_Naples,_Duchess_of_Ferrara" title="Eleanor of Naples, Duchess of Ferrara">Eleanor</a> with the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Ferrara" title="Duchy of Ferrara">Duke of Ferrara</a> <a href="/wiki/Ercole_I_d%27Este,_Duke_of_Ferrara" class="mw-redirect" title="Ercole I d'Este, Duke of Ferrara">Ercole d'Este</a>, and the younger <a href="/wiki/Beatrice_of_Naples" title="Beatrice of Naples">Beatrice</a> with King <a href="/wiki/Matthias_Corvinus" title="Matthias Corvinus">Matthias Corvinus of Hungary</a>. All these celebrations were interrupted by mourning for the death of Queen <a href="/wiki/Isabella_of_Clermont" title="Isabella of Clermont">Isabella</a>, a woman of numerous virtues. She was mourned by everyone, and her body was taken to the <a href="/wiki/San_Pietro_Martire,_Naples" title="San Pietro Martire, Naples">church of San Pietro Martire</a>, where her sepulcher can still be seen today. King Ferrante, after long years of widowhood, in 1477 married his cousin <a href="/wiki/Joanna_of_Aragon,_Queen_of_Naples" title="Joanna of Aragon, Queen of Naples">Joanna</a>, daughter of his uncle King John II of Aragon.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Internal_Politics_during_the_Golden_Age">Internal Politics during the Golden Age</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Internal Politics during the Golden Age">edit</a>]</div> The end of the <a href="/wiki/Conspiracy_of_the_Barons" title="Conspiracy of the Barons">rebellion of the barons</a> was followed by twenty years of internal peace which allowed Ferrante to strengthen the state and increase its wealth. The confiscation of the lands of the rebel barons transformed the balance of power between the crown and the nobility of the kingdom. Ferrante, always distrustful of the barons, pushed his subjects to greater economic vigor with the introduction of new measures that effectively allowed the entire population of the kingdom to enjoy greater freedom in daily life. With a law of 1466, he allowed farmers to freely dispose of their products, releasing them from the obligation of having to sell the food to the local lord at the price he set. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg/220px-Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="291" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg/330px-Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/32/Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg/440px-Lazzarelli-ferranti-fasti-christianae-religionis-detail.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2620" data-file-height="3466" /></a><figcaption>Miniature from the late 15th century, possibly from the 1480s showing King Ferrante receiving gifts</figcaption></figure> State-owned cities gained increasing importance as it imposed greater controls on baronial power. In the kingdom the Jews, protected by King Ferrante, carried out a notable artisanal and commercial activity. It was an important moment for municipal freedoms. The king himself granted statutes to state-owned cities and ratified those granted by the barons, favoring the growth of an urban aristocracy as a counterweight to the feudal nobility.<a href="#cite_note-test1-14">[14]</a> Furthermore, in 1466, in order to prevent the abandonment of the lands with its inevitable consequences, harmful to the tax authorities and to the well-being of the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Naples" title="Kingdom of Naples">country</a>, he ordered that the privileged classes, used to hoarding them, could not be of any obstacle to the free sale of the fruits of the earth, such as prices set at their discretion. In 1469, while confirming ecclesiastical immunities, he left them only to those who actually dedicated themselves to the practices of worship. He tried to reactivate the industries, especially those of silk and wool; indeed, he himself became an industrialist and merchant, associating himself with the daring enterprises of Francesco Coppola, later Count of <a href="/wiki/Sarno" title="Sarno">Sarno</a>. Nor is the increase and promotion of the fine arts and cultural life less innovative. In fact, in addition to the erected architectures and the impulse given to the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Naples_Federico_II" title="University of Naples Federico II">university</a>, during his reign a true <a href="/wiki/Culture_of_Italy" title="Culture of Italy">Italian</a> and Latin culture was formed in the kingdom, which counted among its major representatives the Panormita, the <a href="/wiki/Jacopo_Sannazaro" title="Jacopo Sannazaro">Sannazaro</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Giovanni_Pontano" title="Giovanni Pontano">Pontano</a>: literature that reflected life of the country, its tendencies, its needs, especially through the works of Diomede Carafa, of <a href="/wiki/Antonio_de_Ferraris" title="Antonio de Ferraris">Galateo</a>, of Tristano Caracciolo, and, as such, it was destined to survive even in the following centuries.<a href="#cite_note-treccani1-33">[33]</a> The death of the Duke of Milan Francesco Sforza in 1466, followed later by that of Gjergj Kastrioti, Lord of Albania, deprived Ferrante of his closest friends. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_League_of_Italian_powers">The League of Italian powers</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: The League of Italian powers">edit</a>]</div> Ferrante further strengthened his power with a series of alliances. Around 1463 he promoted a league between the major <a href="/wiki/List_of_historic_states_of_Italy" class="mw-redirect" title="List of historic states of Italy">Italian states</a>: Naples, Florence, and Milan. The pacification of the kingdom of Naples had positive effects throughout Italy and the alliance was, as Ernesto Pontieri writes, also beneficial "for the purpose of preserving peace in <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>".<a href="#cite_note-www.ilportaledelsud.org-34">[34]</a> However, the equilibrium achieved with such great effort soon proved to be very precarious. The duchy of Milan <a href="/wiki/Galeazzo_Maria_Sforza" title="Galeazzo Maria Sforza">Galeazzo Maria sforza</a> in March 1470 allied himself with <a href="/wiki/Louis_XI" title="Louis XI">Louis XI of France</a>, effectively invalidating the league with Florence and Naples. Ferrante, then, exploited the weak point of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Sforza" title="House of Sforza">Sforza</a> power represented by <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Genoa" title="Republic of Genoa">Genoa</a>, fomenting the rebellion of the <a href="/wiki/Genoa" title="Genoa">capital</a>, where in 1476 there were riots to the cry of "long live the king of Naples and long live freedom".<a href="#cite_note-www.ilportaledelsud.org-34">[34]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_war_of_the_census">The war of the census</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: The war of the census">edit</a>]</div> On 19 August 1464 Pius II also died, depriving Ferrante of his most faithful ally. The successor, <a href="/wiki/Pope_Paul_II" title="Pope Paul II">Pope Paul II</a>, recognizing that his predecessor had neglected the collection of the income due to the papacy, began to urge Ferrante to pay all the taxes he owed to the Holy See, which had not been paid for several years. Ferrante, aggravated by the excessive expenses for the last war, had run out of money and therefore not only apologized for not being able to pay them, but asked the Pontiff to subscribe to the payment. A discord was generated from this claim that stopped when the Pope asked for help from Ferrante to lower the power of the sons of the counts of Anguillara, who sent him troops. Once the undertaking was over, the Pope renewed his request for censuses obtained with greater diligence than before. The King then demanded from the Pope to release the censuses for the expenses he had recently made to help him and also demanded for the future that the prior papal income from his kingdom, eight thousand <a href="/wiki/Oncia" title="Oncia">oncie</a> a year, should be reduced. He claimed that payment was excessive even for the Kingdom encompassing both Naples and Sicily, and that since Sicily was ruled by his uncle, King John of Aragon, Ferrante, and Naples should not pay the entire amount. The Pope on the other hand emphasized the help that Ferrante had received from his predecessor. Ferrante added another claim: the restitution of Papal lands within the borders of the kingdom, consisting of Terracina in Terra di Lavoro, <a href="/wiki/Cittaducale" title="Cittaducale">Cività Ducale</a> and <a href="/wiki/Leonessa" title="Leonessa">Leonessa</a> in <a href="/wiki/Abruzzo" title="Abruzzo">Abruzzo</a>; and this in force of the agreement made in 1443 by <a href="/wiki/Pope_Eugene_IV" title="Pope Eugene IV">Pope Eugene IV</a> with his father King <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_V_of_Aragon" title="Alfonso V of Aragon">Alfonso V</a>. Ferrante also demanded the restitution of Benevento, which he had granted to his ally Pope Pius, but now demanded its returned. The Pope, seeing how soured the mood of the King was, and not being able to resist him with the army or with other ways, immediately sent to Naples Cardinal <a href="/wiki/Bartolomeo_Roverella" title="Bartolomeo Roverella">Roverella</a> to try to appease Ferrante, who then angrily ordered Alfonso his son to remove the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Sora" title="Duchy of Sora">Duchy of Sora</a> to the Church. The Cardinal carried out the task so well that from then on there was no more talk of expired censuses, nor of the restitution of those lands. Other disputes arose between them for the defense of the Lords of <a href="/wiki/Tolfa" title="Tolfa">Tolfa</a>, given that the Pope was pretending that the city was his and laying siege to it, but the army of the King arrived and the army of the Pope, seeing that of Ferrante, fled immediately, leaving the siege. The disputes that the Kings of Naples had with the <a href="/wiki/Pope" title="Pope">Roman Pontiffs</a> were always bitter and continuous not only in Tolfa, but also in the territory of <a href="/wiki/Pozzuoli" title="Pozzuoli">Pozzuoli</a> and <a href="/wiki/Agnano" title="Agnano">Agnano</a> that the Pontiffs claimed belonged to them.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> The death of Pope Paul on July 26, 1471, and the succession of Pope Sixtus IV, former Cardinal Francesco della Rovere, ended all discords. In 1475, Pope Sixtus in a Bull exempted Ferrante from having pay the census, save for the investiture to send him a well-trimmed white horse every year; thus the use of the <a href="/wiki/Chinea" title="Chinea">chinea</a> was introduced to <a href="/wiki/St._Peter%27s_Basilica" title="St. Peter's Basilica">Saint Peter</a>. Ferrante, recognizing the virtues of this Pontiff, wanted to pay homage to him by giving the Duchy of Sora (which he had taken from Giovanni Paolo Cantelmo) to Leonardo della Rovere, with whom he then married one of his daughters.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="The_Aragonese_Court">The Aragonese Court</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: The Aragonese Court">edit</a>]</div> Ferrante, therefore, placed himself in a placid calm, marked the same footsteps of King Alfonso his Father, and did not neglect in these years of happiness and peace the need to reorganize the kingdom and enrich it with new arts and provide it with provided laws and institutes, also making at his court men of letters and illustrious in all sorts of sciences, and above all professors of civil and canonical law. In his reign, in addition to the splendor of the royal house, letters and writers flourished. In these years Naples had a flourishing golden age similar to the one it was in the reign of <a href="/wiki/Charles_II_of_Naples" title="Charles II of Naples">Charles II of Anjou</a> for the promotion of <a href="/wiki/Renaissance_art" title="Renaissance art">art</a> and for the many royals who adorned its palace, in fact Ferrante had numerous offspring like Carlo which increased its prestige.

In this moment of peace, the Turkish danger reappeared with the conquest of the Venetian island of <a href="/wiki/Euboea" title="Euboea">Negroponte</a> by Mohammed II. Venice and Naples immediately undertook unitary actions of the fleets in the <a href="/wiki/Aegean_Sea" title="Aegean Sea">Aegean</a>, slowing down the <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Ottoman</a> expansionism. France and the Duchy of Milan unsuccessfully tried to thwart the alliance, potentially very dangerous for their <a href="/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea" title="Mediterranean Sea">Mediterranean</a> interests. But it was instead Ferrante's ambition that decreed the end of the alliance, when in 1473 he demanded the possession of the island of <a href="/wiki/Cyprus" title="Cyprus">Cyprus</a>, protectorate of the Serenissima, proposing in complete secrecy to marry his son Alfonso with a daughter of King <a href="/wiki/James_II_of_Cyprus" title="James II of Cyprus">James</a>. All this took place with the complicity of <a href="/wiki/Pope_Sixtus_IV" title="Pope Sixtus IV">Pope Sixtus IV</a>, who did not look favorably on Venetian expansionism in the Aegean.<a href="#cite_note-www.ilportaledelsud.org-34">[34]</a> In the rapid game of alliances and account-alliances that characterized the era, on 2 November 1474 an alliance pact was signed between the Duke of Milan, <a href="/wiki/Galeazzo_Maria_Sforza" title="Galeazzo Maria Sforza">Galeazzo Maria Sforza</a>, Florence, and Venice. Ferrante responded by contrasting the coalition with the State of the Church, stipulated in January 1475. On the occasion of the <a href="/wiki/Jubilee_in_the_Catholic_Church" title="Jubilee in the Catholic Church">Jubilee</a> of that year, Ferrante went to Rome together with some barons of the Kingdom, and the trip constituted an opportunity to further strengthen, through the alliance, the links between the Papal State and the Neapolitan kingdom. Thus two antithetical blocs were created, which again threatened peace in Italy. Ferrante, with his diplomacy made up of moves and countermoves, also forged ties with the Duke of Ferrara and the King of Hungary, who, as mentioned, had married two of his daughters. King <a href="/wiki/Louis_XI" title="Louis XI">Louis XI</a>, meanwhile, in 1475 had taken possession of <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Anjou" title="Duchy of Anjou">Anjou</a>, thus securing the Angevin rights to the throne of Naples.

In 1476 Galeazzo Maria Sforza died, and Ferrante wanted to take advantage of the occasion by trying, with the support of Pope Sisto IV, to take possession of the Duchy of Milan. Ferrante stirred up the Genoese and the <a href="/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Swiss</a> against <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Milan" title="Duchy of Milan">Milan</a> to make the <a href="/wiki/Bona_of_Savoy" title="Bona of Savoy">duchess regent</a> were to defend itself on two sides.

Ferrante's plan also failed because he did not obtain the support of the Emperor <a href="/wiki/Frederick_III,_Holy_Roman_Emperor" title="Frederick III, Holy Roman Emperor">Frederick III of Habsburg</a>, who was reluctant to meddle in the unstable arena of Italian politics. This furthermore led to the failure of the planned marriage between <a href="/wiki/Frederick_of_Naples" title="Frederick of Naples">Frederick</a>, son of Ferrante, and <a href="/wiki/Kunigunde_of_Austria" title="Kunigunde of Austria">Kunigunde of Habsburg</a>, daughter of the emperor.

The pious religious left his Calabria and was in Naples in 1481. Welcomed at <a href="/wiki/Porta_Nolana,_Naples" class="mw-redirect" title="Porta Nolana, Naples">Porta Nolana</a>, he was received with great honor and courtesy by the King, who had him lodged in the Royal Palace of Castel Nuovo, in a small room that still exists. During this stay the king begged him, before going to France, to found a convent in Naples, making him choose the place to found it. The Saint chose a solitary and rocky place overlooking the sea, asylum for criminals, on the northern slopes of Mount Echia.<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> Warned not to be deceived in the election of the site, Francis prophesied that this place would be the most important and populated center not only in Naples, but in the whole Kingdom. The Convent was built with next to it, a church dedicated to San Luigi, called the church of San Luigi di Palazzo, for a chapel that existed at the time and dedicated to this saint. During the factory, many alms and a conspicuous donation from the King were received.<a href="#cite_note-sanfrancescodapaola1-42">[42]</a> The saint insistently requested and also obtained that the body of <a href="/wiki/Januarius" title="Januarius">Saint Januarius</a> be transferred to Naples, at which ceremony with great pomp celebrated by Cardinal <a href="/wiki/Oliviero_Carafa" title="Oliviero Carafa">Oliviero Carafa</a>, he too wanted to attend.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> Although the Kingdom of Naples was ruled by Ferrante, locally the effective power was the prerogative of the noble families, according to what was the feudal system. These barons oppressed the population, which occupied the lowest social level, so Ferrante tried to hinder their power. Francis also fulfilled in this historical context the mission of spreading the <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christian life</a>. Wanting to prove his integrity - as it is said - Ferrante brought the saint to the parts of the current <a href="/wiki/Piazza_del_Plebiscito" title="Piazza del Plebiscito">Piazza del Plebiscito</a> and tempted him with a tray full of gold coins offered for the construction of a convent of the <a href="/wiki/Minims_(religious_order)" class="mw-redirect" title="Minims (religious order)">Minims</a> in Naples, in the open space that today it is occupied by the colonnade of the <a href="/wiki/San_Francesco_di_Paola,_Naples" title="San Francesco di Paola, Naples">Church of San Francesco di Paola</a>. St. Francis refused, took a coin, broke it, and let out blood. The blood that came out of the coins was that of the subjects, of the people who suffered the powerful. Faced with a huge supply of money and a proposal of ultimate prosperity and wealth, anyone would be able to be seduced; so, it was not for the Saint. When the latter then left for France at the invitation of King Louis XI, the <a href="/wiki/Pope_Sixtus_IV" title="Pope Sixtus IV">Pope</a> and the King of Naples took the opportunity to strengthen the fragile relations with France, foreseeing, in perspective, the possibility of reaching an agreement to abolish the <a href="/wiki/Pragmatic_Sanction_of_Bourges" title="Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges">Pragmatic Sanction of Bourges</a>.<a href="#cite_note-sanfrancescodapaola1-42">[42]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Government_after_twenty_years_of_prosperity">Government after twenty years of prosperity</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=21" title="Edit section: Government after twenty years of prosperity">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Pazzi_conspiracy_(1478-1480)">Pazzi conspiracy (1478-1480)</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: Pazzi conspiracy (1478-1480)">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton,_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona,_berlino_kupferstichkabinett,_senofonte,_ciropedia,_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton%2C_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona%2C_berlino_kupferstichkabinett%2C_senofonte%2C_ciropedia%2C_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg/220px-Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton%2C_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona%2C_berlino_kupferstichkabinett%2C_senofonte%2C_ciropedia%2C_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="327" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton%2C_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona%2C_berlino_kupferstichkabinett%2C_senofonte%2C_ciropedia%2C_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg/330px-Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton%2C_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona%2C_berlino_kupferstichkabinett%2C_senofonte%2C_ciropedia%2C_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton%2C_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona%2C_berlino_kupferstichkabinett%2C_senofonte%2C_ciropedia%2C_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg/440px-Maestro_del_senofonte_hamilton%2C_trionfo_di_re_ferdinando_d%27aragona%2C_berlino_kupferstichkabinett%2C_senofonte%2C_ciropedia%2C_inv._78c_24_f_1v.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1703" data-file-height="2531" /></a><figcaption>Triumph of Ferrante of Aragon, <a href="/wiki/Kupferstichkabinett_Berlin" title="Kupferstichkabinett Berlin">Kupferstichkabinett</a> inv. 78c 24 f, <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a></figcaption></figure> Ferrante's alliances rested mainly on the Sforza of Milan and the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Este" title="House of Este">Este</a> of <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Modena_and_Reggio" title="Duchy of Modena and Reggio">Modena</a> and <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Ferrara" title="Duchy of Ferrara">Ferrara</a>.

Ferrante managed to reach an agreement with the Turkish sultan, who unleashed his army against Venice, which, forced to defend itself, was unable to rush to Florence to help. The heir to the throne Alfonso, commander of the Neapolitan army, was sent to war in Tuscany, where he managed to be proclaimed lord of Siena. The Florentines had no choice but to come to terms with the king of Naples and an armistice was asked. Lorenzo de' Medici had realized that he could not afford the enmity of a sovereign so powerful and so close: he therefore set off for Naples to deal directly with Ferrante.<a href="#cite_note-www.ilportaledelsud.org-34">[34]</a> On 5 December 1479 Lorenzo the Magnificent embarked on Neapolitan ships in <a href="/wiki/Pisa" title="Pisa">Pisa</a> to reach Naples.

In any case, the alliance with Florence of Lorenzo de' Medici proved to be advantageous for Ferrante, so much so that in 1483 Ferrante appointed Lorenzo the Magnificent Chamber of the Kingdom. Such a title was more than anything else honorific, for the one who more than any other will prove to be a good ally of the king of Naples. The historian Ernesto Pontieri comments: "Ferrante, found in the league with Florence a bulwark against the enemy forces of his dynasty, which, as is well known, were the treacherous and riotous baronage inside and foreign suitors outside. Both contractors, the Aragonese and the Medici, remained faithful to the pacts agreed in Naples in 1480; and in reality, as long as they lived, no one violated the borders of Italy."<a href="#cite_note-www.ilportaledelsud.org-34">[34]</a> However, the daring journey of the Magnificent confirmed the fame that Ferrante enjoyed as "Judge of Italy". Furthermore, the magnificence of his court and the wealth of means at his disposal created him the reputation of a very rich sovereign; and finally his flashy diplomatic and war triumphs, his wise financial and administrative reforms, and the considerable aids given to writers and artists were able to give good hopes to the subjects who were favorable to his house.<a href="#cite_note-treccani1-33">[33]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="War_of_Otranto_(1480-1481)">War of Otranto (1480-1481)</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: War of Otranto (1480-1481)">edit</a>]</div> Meanwhile, Lorenzo and Ferrante were negotiating in Naples, still in 1480, when <a href="/wiki/Mehmed_II" title="Mehmed II">Mehmed II</a>, followed by a powerful fleet, began to threaten the Kingdom of Naples.

Ariadeno therefore, wishing to continue the conquests, thought of occupying <a href="/wiki/Brindisi" title="Brindisi">Brindisi</a> and laying siege to other cities. Ferrante, seeing his kingdom in danger, asked for help from all the princes of Europe and immediately sent a messenger to call Alfonso, his son in Tuscany, to leave the <a href="/wiki/Pazzi_conspiracy" title="Pazzi conspiracy">war against Florence</a> and come to help the kingdom. The Turkish danger was, explicitly, the basis of the royal decision to adequately fortify Brindisi. While the Turks were still barricaded in Otranto, in February 1481, Ferrante d'Aragona ordered the start of work for the construction of a fortress to guard the <a href="/wiki/Port_of_Brindisi" title="Port of Brindisi">port of Brindisi</a>: the Ferrante tower. Subsequently, in 1485, Alfonso, son of King Ferrante and then Duke of Calabria, transformed the keep of Ferrante into a castle. Thus was born the superb Aragonese castle of Brindisi.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> The Duke of Calabria abandoned the war in Tuscany and having arrived in Naples on 10 September 1480, gathered an army of 80 Galere with some vessels and gave the command to Galeazzo Caracciolo, who arrived with the army in the <a href="/wiki/Strait_of_Otranto" title="Strait of Otranto">Strait of Otranto</a>, greatly frightened the enemy army. Shortly after, the Duke of Calabria himself joined him, accompanied by a large number of Neapolitan barons. The King of Hungary, brother-in-law of the Duke, sent 1700 soldiers and 300 Hungarian horses, and the Pope sent a cardinal with 22 Genoese galleys. The Pope, to thwart the danger from which he had threatened Italy, tried to unite the Italian governments in his will to make them act against the invasion of the Turks and absolved the Florentines from excommunication, forgiving them for all the injuries done to the Church. Ferrante, in exchange for 10,000 ducats, returned to them all the lands he had conquered during the conflict against Florence (<a href="/wiki/Colle_di_Val_d%27Elsa" title="Colle di Val d'Elsa">Colle Val d'Elsa</a>, <a href="/wiki/Poggibonsi" title="Poggibonsi">Poggibonsi</a>, <a href="/wiki/Monte_San_Savino" title="Monte San Savino">Monte San Savino</a>, Poggio Imperiale, and other fortified places in the <a href="/wiki/Chianti_(region)" title="Chianti (region)">Chianti</a> and <a href="/wiki/Valdelsa" title="Valdelsa">Valdelsa</a>).<a href="#cite_note-Vincenzo_Buonsignori-1856-38">[38]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_Empire" title="Ottoman Empire">Turks</a>, after many battles, were finally forced to retreat into Otranto, where they defended themselves for a long time.

The duke's two adversaries had already managed to occupy almost all the places in the <a href="/wiki/Polesine" title="Polesine">Polesine</a> and plunder the Ferrara countryside. King Ferrante, who for the past <a href="/wiki/Ottoman_invasion_of_Otranto" class="mw-redirect" title="Ottoman invasion of Otranto">war of Otranto</a> found himself tired and impoverished, did not dare to enter the war, but in the end also pushed by the will of the Duke of Calabria, resolved to help his son-in-law and daughter, with the aim also of preventing the Venetians and the Pope from increasing their territories. Then the King wanted to be advised privately and in public and it was suggested that Ferrara had to be defended, since defeated Hercules, the Pope and the Venetians would have done the same thing with him, in fact both claimed the Kingdom of Naples. In addition to the King, the Florentines and <a href="/wiki/Ludovico_Sforza" title="Ludovico Sforza">Ludovico Sforza</a>, regent of the <a href="/wiki/Duchy_of_Milan" title="Duchy of Milan">Duchy of Milan</a> for his nephew <a href="/wiki/Gian_Galeazzo_Sforza" title="Gian Galeazzo Sforza">Gian Galeazzo Maria Sforza</a> took up arms to help Ferrara, with the resolution that the Florentines and the King harass the Pope and Ludovico troubled the borders of the Venetians, so than that Republic, having to defend the borders in many points harassed Ferrara with less impetus. He then moved the Duke of Calabria with a flowery army in favor of Duke Ercole, but his having denied passage to the <a href="/wiki/March_of_Ancona" title="March of Ancona">March of Ancona</a> by the papal men at arms, turned to plague the lands of the Church and besieged by the favor of the <a href="/wiki/Colonna_family" title="Colonna family">Colonna</a> and <a href="/wiki/Savelli_family" title="Savelli family">Savelli</a> the same city of Rome; but <a href="/wiki/Virginio_Orsini" title="Virginio Orsini">Virginio Orsini</a>, Count of <a href="/wiki/Tagliacozzo" title="Tagliacozzo">Tagliacozzo</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Albe,_Massa_d%27Albe" title="Albe, Massa d'Albe">Albe</a>, seeing that Rome was in the thick of things, wanting to show himself religious and loving towards the Papal State, left this enterprise in the pay of the Duke of Calabria and courageously set out to defend the city. Meanwhile <a href="/wiki/Roberto_Malatesta" title="Roberto Malatesta">Roberto Malatesta da Rimini</a>, captain of the Venetians, went to help the Pope, and the duke withdrew to <a href="/wiki/Velletri" title="Velletri">Velletri</a>, where, forced to go to a place called Campomorto, he was engaged in battle, where the duke's army was defeated. Alfonso managed to escape miraculously thanks to four hundred <a href="/wiki/Janissary" title="Janissary">Janissaries</a>, who remained in the <a href="/wiki/Terra_di_Otranto" title="Terra di Otranto">Terra di Otranto</a> under him, who militated, who with great virtue, carried him safely to the walls of <a href="/wiki/Nettuno" title="Nettuno">Nettuno</a>. The main men-at-arms of his army remained in the power of the enemy, who, entering prisoners in Rome, adorned the triumph of the victor. When the Duke of Calabria and the King found themselves in the greatest danger they had ever been, the death of Roberto Malatesta occurred shortly after the victory, and the Pope found himself without a captain and therefore unable to continue the war, he asked for peace and left the alliance with the Venetians came close to the king, allowing the Duke of Calabria to pass through his territories, who with two thousand horses went to the defense of Ferrara. Wanting the Pope to allay the discords between the potentates of Italy, he wrote to the Venetians that he had to return everything they had occupied to the Duke of Ferrara, but they refused to do so, and despite the Pope having abandoned them, they stubbornly pursued the war, and also astonishing King Ferrante, they called in Italy the <a href="/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_II,_Duke_of_Lorraine" title="René II, Duke of Lorraine">Duke of Lorraine</a>, pretender to the throne of Naples by virtue of his ties with the <a href="/wiki/Capetian_House_of_Anjou" title="Capetian House of Anjou">Angevins</a>, hoping that the duke would meet that of Milan, who was camped in the countryside of Rome, to convince him to ally with the Venetians. Their plan failed, however, because while that war lasted, it was administered by the duke with so much virtue and fortune, that if Ludovico Duke of Milan did not disband from the league, he would have taken away all the mainland from the Venetians. Meanwhile, Pope Sixtus, upon the requisition of King Ferrante, excommunicated and banned the Venetians for disturbing the peace of Italy. By this means, the King sent his son Federico with fifty galleys to the sea of <a href="/wiki/Ancona" title="Ancona">Ancona</a> to damage the lands of the Venetians. The following spring, the Venetians put into the sea an army of one hundred and twenty woods with troops commanded by the Duke of Lorraine, René II, who occupied <a href="/wiki/Gallipoli,_Apulia" title="Gallipoli, Apulia">Gallipoli</a>, <a href="/wiki/Nard%C3%B2" title="Nardò">Nardò</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Monopoli" title="Monopoli">Monopoli</a> with resistance, as well as other smaller places in the Otranto area. The King, deeply afraid of the loss of these places, in order not to receive more damage, asked for peace, which he obtained on 27 August 1484 with the following condition: The places that had been occupied in Lombardy by the Duke of Calabria were returned to the Venetians and they released the territories occupied in the duchy of Ferrara, Gallipoli, Nardò and Monopoli with all the lands they had occupied in the Kingdom of Naples.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Second_conspiracy_of_the_barons_(1485-1486)">Second conspiracy of the barons (1485-1486)</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Ferdinand_I_of_Naples&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Second conspiracy of the barons (1485-1486)">edit</a>]</div> King Ferrante, although a very prudent prince, for the great affection he bore to the Duke Don Alfonso, for his old age, and for the love and caresses of his new bride, was disheartened by low affections, and seeing that he trusted a lot in the value of duke, gave him almost all the reins of the government. Alfonso despised the barons, in fact, he always used to tell his confidants that if the barons had not been able to help their king in dire need during the war in Otranto, he wanted to teach him how the subjects must behave with their sovereign, assuring him that by oppressing the barons would have favored the people they exploited; and to spread the word of his opposition, Alfonso decided to place a crest broom on the helmet and some pincers in the saddle of the horse, demonstrating that he wanted to annihilate them. All this, combined with Ferrante's centralist government and Alfonso's cruelty towards the barons, led in 1485 to a second attempt at revolt. The barons, who had conceived a great hatred towards Alfonso, and feeling terrified by these threats, began to think how to get rid of it. Meanwhile Sixtus had died and his successor, Pope Innocent VIII, after having lifted the excommunication of the Venetians that Sisto had given him, wanted to re-establish the payment of the census in the kingdom of Naples. The King on 29 June 1485 (the day set for payment) had sent Antonio d'Alessandro as his orator to Rome to present to the Pope the white horse in effect for the investiture, but the Pope did not want to receive it, so much so that Antonio was forced to make a public protest. On the other hand, the Barons, seeing the dissatisfaction of the Pope, thought of having recourse to him to be supported. The leaders and authors of this conspiracy were Francesco Coppola, Count of Sarno and Antonello Petrucci secretary of the King. The many riches and the many extraordinary favors that the King did to these two characters made them enter into the hatred and envy of many, especially the Duke of Calabria, who could not contain himself in saying in public that his Father in order to enrich them had impoverished himself.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-47">[47]</a> The barons who conspired were Antonello Sanseverino, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Princes_of_Salerno" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Princes of Salerno">Prince of Salerno</a>, <a href="/wiki/Pirro_Del_Balzo" class="mw-redirect" title="Pirro Del Balzo">Pirro Del Balzo</a>, Prince of <a href="/wiki/Altamura" title="Altamura">Altamura</a>, the Prince of <a href="/wiki/Bisignano" title="Bisignano">Bisignano</a>, the Marquis del <a href="/wiki/Vasto" title="Vasto">Vasto</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Duke_of_Atri" class="mw-redirect" title="Duke of Atri">Duke of Atri</a>, the Duke of Melfi, the Duke of Nardò, the Count of Lauria, the Count of <a href="/wiki/Mileto" title="Mileto">Mileto</a>, the Count of Nola and many other knights.

Meanwhile, Alfonso Duke of Calabria, having discovered the conspiracy, suddenly took possession of the County of Nola and conquered <a href="/wiki/Nola" title="Nola">Nola</a>, incarcerating the two children and the Count's wife, then leading them to the prisons of <a href="/wiki/Castel_Nuovo" title="Castel Nuovo">Castel Nuovo</a> in <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a>. When the other conspirators learned what Alfonso had done, fearing that he would do the same with their fiefs, they openly began to arm themselves and revolt.

The Prince of <a href="/wiki/Bisignano" title="Bisignano">Bisignano</a>, in order to give the other barons time to arm themselves, began to make a peace treaty with Ferrante who apparently seemed very willing to accept, but in reality, he had no intention of giving him anything.

When they had to be signed, since the prince of Salerno and many barons resided in <a href="/wiki/Salerno" title="Salerno">Salerno</a>, the prince of Bisignano asked the king to send Don Frederick to Salerno for greater safety and sign them in his name.

Frederick was a prince endowed with rare and incomparable virtues, handsome, with very sweet behavior, moderate and modest, so much so that he was loved by all and of habits opposed to his brother Duke of Calabria.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-49">[49]</a> Frederick therefore entered Salerno with the firm hope of concluding the peace; but one day the Prince of Salerno, having summoned the barons to his Palace and having Frederick enter the Castle in an eminent room, began with much eloquence to persuade him to take the <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Naples" title="Kingdom of Naples">kingdom</a> they were offering him so that, having chased <a href="/wiki/Alfonso_II_of_Naples" title="Alfonso II of Naples">Alfonso</a>, he would rest under his clemency, and certainly the old King would not have been offended by this, on the contrary he would have favored the will of men and of <a href="/wiki/God" title="God">God</a>. In short, he influenced the prince with great ardor, so much so that each baron believed that Frederick would not refuse the gift; but this prince who had neither ambition, nor immoderate thirst to dominate, but only virtue, after having thanked for the offer, very placidly replied that if by granting him the kingdom he had been under their control, he would have gladly accepted the gift, but Not being able to take possession of the kingdom, if not violating all the laws, the paternal will and the reason of his brother, he refused. When the conspirators understood Frederick's resolution, they turned pale, and seeing that they had to carry out the conspiracy, they imprisoned Frederick and to invigorate the Pope's soul they raised the Papal flags.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-50">[50]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano,_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano%2C_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg/220px-Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano%2C_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="345" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano%2C_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg/330px-Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano%2C_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0a/Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano%2C_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg/440px-Madonna_col_Bambino_in_trono_e_santi-Martirio_di_santo_Stefano%2C_Pietro_Befulco_001.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1227" data-file-height="1926" /></a><figcaption>Ferrante (bottom left) depicted as <a href="/wiki/Saint_Stephen" title="Saint Stephen">Saint Stephen</a>, <a href="/wiki/Mary,_mother_of_Jesus" title="Mary, mother of Jesus">Madonna</a> and Child enthroned with saints, Pietro Befulco, <a href="/wiki/Museo_di_Capodimonte" title="Museo di Capodimonte">National Museum of Capodimonte</a>, <a href="/wiki/Naples" title="Naples">Naples</a><a href="#cite_note-51">[51]</a></figcaption></figure> Ferrante, infuriated by the incident, threatened to declare war on the Pope and sent the Duke of Calabria with a large army to the borders of the kingdom.

He was gifted with great courage and remarkable political ability. The buffoons were very welcome to him, and he gave them many thanks on a few occasions. He was a lover of hunting, especially the art of falconry. He was courteous and liberal, as for example, one day he donated 300 horses to a Genoese friend of his, called Olietto de Tiesso.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-9-65">[65]</a> This sovereign was adorned with many letters and well versed in law, and he considered this science more necessary than any other for the rulers of peoples. He especially loved men of graceful mottos and poets and it is said that at their request he forgave those guilty of serious crimes. Ferrante greatly protected the sciences and letters and with great royal generosity he lavished on the men who were lovers of them and granted extensive privileges and aid to poor scholars. He was very fond of books, so much so that his library, called Aragonese, was celebrated as one of the main ones of those times.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> He was, as mentioned, a patron of the arts and a lover of letters,<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-9-65">[65]</a> in fact he wrote a book containing someepistles and very elegant prayers called Militari, which was published in 1486,<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> where his good taste for good letters can be seen.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-9-65">[65]</a> Pietro Napoli Signorelli cites two other letters with praise, one called Audiat hodierna die and the other Studebo quantum potero.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> Although Sicily after the death of Alfonso I passed under the reign of Giovanni, King Ferrante wanted to make use of the title of King of Sicily, in fact in all the pragmatics and edicts read: Ferdinandus Arag.

He organized numerous weddings of poor maidens and had a very rich tapestry that had been the property of Queen Giovanna II. After the King's death, the Duke of Ferrara bought it, who, seeing it by the Emperor Charles V in Reggio, in the Palazzo di Alfonso d'Este, was very amazed. Don Ferrante, with his virtues, left a Kingdom that he had led to greater greatness, perhaps more than any other sovereign who would have governed it, for which many famous writers mentioned him in their famous writings.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-67">[67]</a> Ferrante was also very attached to music, for which he showed real enthusiasm. In fact, he constantly sought singers educated at the Burgundy school and expert organ builders, all who received a warm welcome in his court. Among the numerous personalities present in his court chapel we remember the Flemish music theorist and composer Johannes Tinctoris. Ferrante himself is credited with a certain skill as an instrumentalist.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> Like his father, Ferrante was also a man of great faith: attached to religious ceremonial, he professed the same devotion to the cult of the Virgin, washed the feet of the poor on Holy Thursday and attended the mass on his knees.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> He was modest in eating and in his manner of presenting himself, although elegant in his ways and in dressing. He inherited his father's love for ceremonial and magnificence, as evidenced by the welcome given to a Burgundian embassy in 1472, one of the greatest manifestations of princely splendor of the time, according to Pontano, and the celebrations on the occasion of the marriage of the Duke of Calabria with Ippolita Maria Sforza. <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg/220px-Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="270" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg/330px-Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c1/Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg/440px-Ritratto_di_Ferrante_d%27Aragona.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1004" data-file-height="1231" /></a><figcaption>Posthumous portrait of King Ferrante of Aragon in an embroidered overcoat</figcaption></figure> He was fascinated, like other princes, by the sumptuous ceremonies of the Orders of chivalry, and having control of the Aragonese Order of the Giara, also known as the Giglio, he also founded the Order of the Ermine with the motto "Malo mori quam foedari", which conferred with liberality, receiving Orders such as the Golden Fleece and the Garter in exchange. His youthful passion for the more mundane aspects of cavalry, tournaments, and horseback riding lasted well beyond maturity, helping him to maintain physical strength.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> He was a very passionate man, he had an almost pathological attraction towards young women<a href="#cite_note-Patrizia_Mainoni-68">[68]</a> and, despite the numerous lovers and concubines, he loved very much his wife Isabella di Chiaramonte, a woman of exceptional virtues, whose death greatly afflicted him. As a father he was very present and very fond of his offspring, especially known is the strong affection shown for his daughters and for the eldest Eleonora. He loved children very much and liked to surround himself with them. In fact, when Eleonora herself went to visit Naples in 1477, Ferrante persuaded her to leave at his court, in addition to her newborn, also his little granddaughter Beatrice, who later grew up like a daughter.<a href="#cite_note-69">[69]</a> He also took under his own protection the two orphans of Count Don Diego Cavaniglia, or Troiano and Nicolina, as he had also protected Diego himself, who was very soon orphaned of a father.

The Aragonese wall of Naples, in fact, was begun under his reign, in June 1484. Ferrante surrounded Naples with walls towards the eastern side and reduced the walls erected by Giovanna II from the Dogana del Sale to the Corregge road into a larger form, today's Via Medina. On 15 June 1488 he placed the first stone of them behind the Carmelo monastery, where a tower was built, called Torre Spinelli, which took its name from the architect who had erected it, Francesco Spinelli. The walls were led up to the monastery of San Giovanni in Carbonara, who at that time was locked inside the city walls and gave the direction of this work to the architect Carlo Majano, who added the Lavinaro road to the city. In 1476, when he moved the customs office near the port, he ordered that the arsenal be moved under the walls of the royal palace.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> Considered one of the greatest expressions of fifteenth-century defensive architecture, the walls stemmed from the need to strengthen the protections of the capital, especially in the aftermath of the Ottoman capture of Otranto in 1480. It replaced the obsolete Angevin curtain with a structure more responsive to the new defensive needs, deriving from the introduction of artillery. The new structure started from the Durazzo castle of the Sperone, of which the Brava tower is still recognizable today, with the Torre Il Trono. The development of the new fortification, delimiting the eastern side of the capital, was about two kilometers long and included twenty powerful cylindrical towers embanked at the base, including four gates. The thickness of the sections of curtain connecting the aforementioned towers reached in some cases even 7 meters and consisted of blocks of yellow tuff. The side facing the countryside was covered with blocks of high-strength gray piperno. Each tower was completely filled so that it could offer maximum passive resistance to the firing of the siege bombers. During the sixteenth century, in the viceregal period, the walls on the eastern side survived intact the renovation that took place under Pedro of Toledo, which led to the construction of a modern bastion wall to delimit the city. Contrary to the total demolition suffered by the latter starting from the mid-eighteenth century, the eastern walls resisted substantially intact until the post-unitary period and then underwent a partial demolition during the rehabilitation works. Under his reign the construction of the Castel Nuovo was completed, the magnificent palace of Poggioreale<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> was commissioned by his son Alfonso and the beautiful Palazzo Como was erected, now home to the Filangieri Museum (built between 1464 and 1490), Porta Nolana, the Palazzo Diomede Carafa (1470), the facade of the Palazzo Sanseverino, now the Church of Gesù Nuovo (1470), as well as the Porta Capuana (defined as the most beautiful door of the Renaissance together with the door of San Pietro in Perugia<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a>). <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg/220px-Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="330" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg/330px-Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5f/Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg/440px-Porta_Capuana_1823.jpg 2x" data-file-width="763" data-file-height="1144" /></a><figcaption>Porta Capuana erected at the behest of Ferrante in a print of 1823</figcaption></figure> Don Ferrante reformed the studies of the university of Naples,<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-10-72">[72]</a> reopened in 1465 with a teaching staff of twenty-two members, supporting it much more than his father had, and allowed the study to be added to the traditional course of study humanistic of Greek and Latin, even if, in reality, its purpose had perhaps been to restore the university monopoly of higher education under strict state control, as its founder Frederick II had conceived it . In 1478 he had such confidence in the possibilities offered by the University of Naplesto prohibit his subjects from studying or seeking a doctorate outside the Kingdom. Teachers were also recruited into the Kingdom and, among the few foreigners appointed, only the Florentine Francesco Pucci found the Neapolitan environment tempting enough to remain there forever.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> Furthermore, Ferrante managed to ensure that the university flourished through learned professors; and for this purpose he invited Costantino Lascaris with his gracious diploma to come and teach the Greek language, assigning him a large salary corresponding to the fame of his name.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> Ferrante, with a Pragmatic entitled De scolaribus doctorandis, ordered his subjects to promote sciences in the capital and wanted the city of Aquila to grant itself the privilege of license to open a Studium.<a href="#cite_note-Ornata_de_Loro_Rispettivi_Ritratti-25">[25]</a><a href="#cite_note-Morelli_1825-2-58">[58]</a> Ferrante promoted Renaissance culture and art with his patronage, surrounding himself with numerous artists and writers who flourished in his kingdom such as: Pico della Mirandola, Marsilio Ficino, Bartolomeo Platina, Jacopo della Pila, Raffaele Volaterrano, Antonio Fiorentino della Cava, Francesco di Giorgio Martini, Pietro and Ippolito del Donzello, Francesco Del Tuppo, Giovanni Giocondo, Giovanni Francesco Mormando, Francesco Laurana, Pietro da Milano, Cola Rapicano, Cristoforo Majorana, Tommaso and Giovan Tommaso Malvito, Ermolao Barbaro the Younger and the Elder, Giuliano and Benedetto da Maiano, Bernardo Rossellino, Francesco Pagano, Riccardo Quartararo, Pietro Befulco, Novello da San Lucano, Guido Mazzoni, Niccolò Antonio known as Colantonio, Angiolillo Arcuccio, Antonio De Ferraris, Poliziano, Teodoro Gaza, Cola Rapicano, Pietro Alemanno, Giovanni Pontano, Antonio Beccadelli and many others. The Panormita was the second secretary of the King and President of the Chamber. Il Pontano succeeded Beccadelli as rector of the renowned Academy of Naples founded by his predecessor (one of the first academies founded in Europe, the first of the Kingdom of Naples and the oldest in Italystill existing), of which he was the main representative and which was later named after him, whose most illustrious students were: Sannazaro, Antonio Flaminio, Cardinal Sadoleto, Giano Anisio, Giovanni Cotta, Andrea Sabatini, Andrea Matteo III Acquaviva and many others.<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-Biancardi_1737-10-72">[72]</a> Ferrante completed the construction and decoration of the Castel Nuovo using artisans of almost exclusively Italian origin such as Pietro da Milano, one of the artists called by Alfonso I, who returned with Francesco Laurana in 1465 to complete the triumphal arch and to make some busts of the royal family. By order of Ferrante, as a lasting warning, the splendid bronze door of the Castel Nuovo, called La Vittoriosa, was cast in bronze, through the artillery removed by the enemies, with the representation of the king's triumph in the conspiracy of the barons, the work of Guglielmo Dello Monaco, a Parisian who had served Alfonso as a manufacturer of cannons, clocks and bells.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> On the door appear in six pictures expressed in bas - relief some events of the conspiracy: in the first of them, from the left side of the beholder, the apparent peace of the Duke of Sessa is scrolled, with the verses that say: "PRINCEPS CVM IACOBO CVM DIOFEBO QVEM DOLOSE / VT REGEM PERMANT COLLOQVIVM SIMVLANT".<a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a> Likewise in the first one on the right is represented the King who valiantly puts the conspirators to flight with the verses: "HOS REX MARTIPOTENS ANIMOSIOR HECTORE CLARO / SENSIT VT INSIDIAS ENSE MICANTE FVGAT".<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> The other paintings represent the siege with the taking of Troy and the surrender of Acquaviva, with the carved verses that say: TROIA DEDIT OUR REQVIEM FINEMQ (VE) LABORI / IN QVA HOSTEM FVDI FORTITER AC POPVLI ";<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a> " HOSTEM TROIANIS FERNANDVS VICIT IN ARVIS / SICVT POMPEVM CESAR IN EHACTIS";<a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> " HINC TROIAM VERSVS MAGNO CONCVSSA FEAR / CASTRA MOVENT HOSTES NE SVBITO PEREANT";<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a> "AQVA DIA FORTEM CEPIT REX FORTIOR VRBEM/ ANDEGAVOS PELLENS VIRIBVS EXIMII".<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a><a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> Towards the end of his life, Ferrante also planned the construction of a large building, a huge Renaissance-style palace perhaps intended to accommodate the administration and the court of justice, but which was never built.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> Ferrante erected the Porta del Carmine and that of San Gennaro and for this work he spent 28466 ducats, on his order the table bridges placed in front of each gate of the city were removed and on the side of the Carmelo church he had that door built that can be seen adorned of travertine stones, he had the Porta Capuana transported, which was near the Castel Capuano on the sides of the church of Santa Caterina in Formiello, where it was magnificently built with sculptures worked in marvelous fine marbles, he had an armory built such as to be able to contain weapons for sixty thousand soldiers, completed the famous tower that now serves as the bell tower of the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore begun by Charles II, for his arrangement the cenacle of the friars of Santa Maria la Nova was painted by the brothers Pietro and Ippolito del Donzello and he also had many places of worship repaired, adorning them with precious furnishings. To his Christian piety we owe the reconstruction of the Cathedral Church of Naples, which almost completely collapsed due to the terrible earthquakes of <a href="/wiki/1456_Central_Italy_earthquakes" title="1456 Central Italy earthquakes">5 and 30 December 1456</a>, causing the death of thirty thousand people in the capital. He wanted many Neapolitan noble families to participate in this reconstruction, which had patronage chapels there, allowing them to place their noble weapons on each pillar of the chapels to rebuild. In Novello da San Lucano, he entrusted him with the reconstruction of the basilica of San Domenico Maggiore, after the ruin of a large part of the building due to the previous earthquake. The De Dominicihe says that the pillars were placed by him, the ceiling was renovated, and the ornaments of the chapel were completed, but in the biography of the del Donzello, contained in his work, he also attributes to them the direction of some works. Terminio adds that, as an example to Ferrante, many nobles contributed to the expense of new pillars, at the top of which they placed their insignia.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> In 1486, Ferrante commissioned the architect and military engineer Francesco di Giorgio Martini to expand the fortress of Taranto built by the Byzantines, in order to replace the medieval type of towers conceived for the plumbing defense. In fact, the use of cannons following the discovery of gunpowder required wide and low circular towers to cushion the impact of cannonballs, equipped with ramps or slides that allowed the pieces to be moved from one tower to the other. 'other, as well as equipped with a large and sturdy parapet with specific openings for the guns.<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> The new fortification was to include seven towers, four of which joined to form a quadrilateral, and the remaining three aligned along the moat to the Mar Piccolo. The four towers were respectively dedicated to San Cristofalo, San Lorenzo, the Bandiera and the Vergine Annunziata. Thus was born the Aragonese castle of the city, and in 1491 the triangular-shaped ravelin between the Torre della Bandiera and the San Cristofalo tower was added on the side facing the Great Sea. The castle was completed in 1492, as can be seen from the engraving of a walled plaque on the "Porta Paterna" together with the Aragonese coat of arms quartered with the tripartite of Angiò family: "Ferdinandus Rex Divi Alphonsi Filius Divi Ferdinandi Nepos Aragonius Arcem Ha(n)c Vetustate Collabente(m) Ad Im(pe)tus Tormentorum Substine(n)dos Quae (Ni)mio Feruntur Spiritu In Ampliorem Firmioremq(ue) Formam Restituit Millesimo CCCCLXXXXII". "King Ferdinand of Aragon, son of the divine Alfonso and grandson of the divine Ferdinand, rebuilt this castle in a larger and more solid form due to old age, so that it could withstand the impetus of the bullets that is endured with maximum vigor - 1492." <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TARANTO-ITALIA_(11211117263).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/TARANTO-ITALIA_%2811211117263%29.jpg/220px-TARANTO-ITALIA_%2811211117263%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/TARANTO-ITALIA_%2811211117263%29.jpg/330px-TARANTO-ITALIA_%2811211117263%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/62/TARANTO-ITALIA_%2811211117263%29.jpg/440px-TARANTO-ITALIA_%2811211117263%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2048" data-file-height="1536" /></a><figcaption>Aragonese Castle of Taranto, built at the behest of Ferrante</figcaption></figure> Under Ferrante, the very rich royal library founded by Alfonso in Castel Capuano continued to grow at an impressive rate, thanks to purchases, gifts and the confiscation of the collections of the rebel barons.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> The use of Neapolitan as the official language of the Kingdom promoted in the court the fashion of a poetry in which the cultured and the popular tradition merged, in a way not unlike what happened in Florence with Lorenzo de 'Medici. This culture also showed more accessible outside of court, spreading the literacy among the nobility and encouraging the growth of a popular literature that finds its best example in the Rookie of Masuccio Salerno.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> The art for which Ferrante showed real enthusiasm, and in which his tastes were closest to those of Alfonso, was music : he continually sought out singers educated at the Burgundy school; expert organ builders received a warm welcome and in the early seventies Johannes Tinctoris arrived in Naples to complete the array of talents active in the court chapel and to develop the tradition of secular polyphony, so that the Neapolitan city excelled over the whole Italy for most of the century.<a href="#cite_note-Treccani-62">[62]</a> Johannes Tinctoris, who defined himself "chaplain and musician of the king of Sicily", performed important functions in the service of Ferrante: chaplain cantor (archicapellanus), instrumentalist of ribeca and vihuela de arco (later known as viola da gamba ), tutor, composer and legal counsel. Tinctoris had an intellectually prominent role at court and in October 1487 he was sent to Northern Europe to hire new singers for the royal chapel. Due to his excellent knowledge of languages and law, King Ferrante also ordered him to draw up an Italian translation of the articles of the Order of the Golden Fleece (Articuli et ordinatione of the Order of the Golden Fleece). Furthermore, Ferrante established in Naples the first musical school in Italy and one of the first in Europe, which involved the major musicians of the time such as: Bernhard Hykaert, the aforementioned Tinctoris, Guglielmo Guarnier and Franchino Gaffurio, who from 1475 to 1478 covered the position of Master of the Chapel of the Royal Palace. In this period the works of Greek musical treatises such as Aristoxenus, author of the fundamental Elementa harmonica and Elementa rhytmica, Aristide Quintiliano, author of a De musica, fundamental for the in-depth treatment of the subject and " Institutio oratoria ", in which the author parallels rhetorical art, with the musical composition, which is able to arouse emotions, prodrome of what will be the theory of affects in the Neapolitan music school of the eighteenth century. This school founded by Ferrante was very important for the development of music in Italy but above all it determined the foundations of the nascent Neapolitan Music School.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a><a href="#cite_note-81">[81]</a> His diplomacy was very expensive and to strengthen the finances, already proven by the patronage of Alfonso I, Ferrante introduced an austerity regime in the court and in the state apparatus,<a href="#cite_note-sunelweb1-5">[5]</a> to facilitate commercial traffic for his vassals, he opened it no less in east that in the west,<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> encouraged businesses and traders by launching a series of initiatives aimed at increasing trade exchanges with Venice, Pisa and Spain; it favored the migration from the countryside to the city and allowed the immigration of numerous Jews expelled from Spain through thedecree of the Alhambra issued by the Catholic kings. One of the refugees, Don Isaac Abrabanel, even received a position at the Neapolitan court of Ferrante which he also held under his successor, Alfonso II. Overall, the Neapolitan population increased rapidly and it was necessary to expand the city walls.<a href="#cite_note-sunelweb1-5">[5]</a> Among the many graces and wide privileges granted to Brindisi, he also gave her, for the loyalty shown to him, the privilege of minting coins, a privilege that he also granted to Capua, Chieti, Sulmona and L'Aquila. He ordered the latter to strike coins not different from those of the Neapolitan mint.<a href="#cite_note-Nicolò_Morelli-1849-13">[13]</a> During his reign, the Royal House of Naples had nothing to envy in terms of splendor to the Courts of the major princes of Europe, given that Ferrante wanted to increase and introduce many arts, such as the art of silk weaving, introduced in Naples by Roger II of Sicily, the art of working wool in 1480,<a href="#cite_note-Le_vite_de_Re_di_Napoli-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> the art of goldsmiths, and the art of weaving gold drapes and brocades.

Fearing no one, he would take great pleasure in conducting his guests on a tour of his prized "museum of mummies". Indeed, Ferdinand had a novel way of dealing with his enemies. After having them murdered, he had their bodies mummified. He kept them in a private ‘black museum’, dressed in the clothes that they had worn in life.
