The author presents a review of the contributions collected in the volume edited by Andrea Merlotti. Reconstructing the context of the Italian courts (Turin, Florence, Naples, and, to a lesser extent, Parma and Modena), the author highlights the educational and institutional role of the Paggerie. In these courts, young aristocrats underwent a rather strenuous educational process designed to teach them the art of command, an essential skill for military careers and for high level service in State bureaucracies. The courts thus became a magnet for the local nobility, especially aristocrats from areas furthest from the centers of power. In parallel to the cultural and institutional changes sweeping across Europe, the final phase of the Paggerie was marked by their transformation into select schools, alongside the rise of new patterns for the training of State servants.
Keywords: Modern History, History of The Ancient Italian States, Court, Nobility, Education, Pages.
