The paper aims to analyze the volume Paggi e paggerie by relating it to the changes that historiography on the court has undergone over the past four decades. At its center lies the issue of training to the service of the crown and sovereign families, education and training of young aristocrats for service in the courts and sovereign families or for high level roles in the army or in State bureaucracies. This highlights the roles of individuals, knowledge, and spaces within the courtly world that have so far recevied scart attention. Secondly, the authors of the volume have courageously chosen a chronology extending beyond the end of the ancien régime and embracing the whole nineteenth century
Keywords: Court pages, Households, Courts of the Italian States, Court Historiography, Old Regime.
