| Riepilogo: | During the first Italian campaign of Bonaparte, several cases of miraculous wonders were recorded, connected to a feeling of fear and discontent that was spreading among the population - thanks also to the propaganda work of the Roman Church - frightened by the "French beast". Historiography has debated and dealt extensively with the phenomenon of such wonders, especially those that occurred in the State of the Church. What we intend to reflect on is the political use that revolutionaries and counterrevolutionaries made of these events, noting if there was a propaganda "exploitation" of the miracle. Through the press, as well as the measures of the authorities, the contemporary speeches and chronicles, light will be shed on the "strategy of consensus" elaborated by the two sides and aimed at influencing the plebs. In fact, hierophanies were used both as a weapon to undermine the Christian religion, accused of deceiving citizens through unworthy and false prodigies, and as a lifeline for all those who found themselves helpless in the revolutionary vortex. To this end, we will provide examples of miraculous prodigies and hierophanies relating to two peninsular areas scarcely taken into account by the studies on the subject: the Venetian territory and the Cisalpine Republic. The ultimate aim is to analyse the results of this propaganda work, which suggest a real failure of the attempt of democratic-republican catechization by the revolutionaries, who found themselves confronted with the role assumed by the Catholic religion and its devotional practices in Italy at the turn of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. |
