Description
Summary:In the sixteenth century, the Italian port city of Ancona witnessed the settlement of a significant number of Greek merchants, artisans and sailors, who formed a community and were granted the use of the church of Sant’Anna in 1524. Their religious life was strongly influenced by the developments that took place in the Roman Curia between 1520 and 1595, and in particular by the changes in attitude brought by the Catholic Reformation in the second half of the century. This article will analyse how the changing attitudes of the Catholic Church interacted with the social structure of the community, which was characterised by fluidity, internal divisions and the absence of a relationship of mutual interdependence with the local authorities.
