Luigi Prisco’s personal correspondence with his mentor and friend Senator Donato Di Marzo (1840–1911) provides us with a precious insight into the aspirations and desires of a man who, through his actions, brought radical change to his life. Maestro Prisco’s letters are an interesting and insightful form of self-narration, which can only be fully understood using a microhistorical approach. The study of these letters is particularly valuable in highlighting the relationship between society and the intimate life of an individual, but also in underlining the active role that Prisco as an individual was able to play.
This volume will be of great use to scholars interested in microhistory, the history of migrations, the history of ‘the self’ and in the development of theoretical approaches and methodologies when using letters as sources in interdisciplinary historical research.
Vincenzo Barra, PhD in Italy and Spain, external cooperator in the research group Histagra (Agrarian History and Rural World Policy) and Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, is Researcher in Modern History at the University of Salerno. He studied the history of local elites in southern Italy in the late modern era. His research has also focused on the comparative history of the political clientelism during the Bourbon Restoration in Spain and the Kingdom of Italy in the liberal age. His line of research includes the study of how everyday life was 'archived' and represented in ego-documents, focusing on personal letters with a microhistorical approach.
