In 1713, Victor Amadeus II succeeds the royal quest that his precedes-sors had been pursuing for a century. Thanks to the support of Great Britain, he establishes his sovereignty in the Alps and becomes king of Sicily to counter any attempt at French and Austrian imperialism. His kingdom is at the center of the balance in Italy and Mediterranean. However, until 1720, the order of Utrecht is contested by the discon-tented powers, mainly Spain and Austria. This article proposes to show the impact of the European game in the (de)construction of the States of the House of Savoy.
Nel 1713, Vittorio Amedeo II completò la ricerca reale che i suoi pre-decessori perseguivano da un secolo. Grazie all’appoggio dell’Inghilterra, il duca consolida la sua sovranità sulle Alpi e, soprat-tutto, divenne re di Sicilia in modo da contrastare ogni tentativo d’imperialismo francese e austriaco. Il suo regno è allora la pietra an-golare dell’equilibrio in Italia e in Mediterraneo. Tuttavia, fino al 1720, l’ordine politico di Utrecht è contestato dalle potenze insoddisfatte, in particolare Spagna e Austria. Questo saggio si propone di mostrare l’impatto del gioco europeo nella (de)costruzione degli Stati di Casa Savoia.
