Description
Summary:This article examines the administrative decisions in attempting a restoration following 1814 and the defeat of Napoleon, which led to many frustrations and conflicts, especially involving religious orders and their monasteries within the Papal States. Against those who would put a positive spin on the period, this article lays plain the human factors at play and reveals how deeply frustrating and divisive this period actually was for the affected monasteries and the men who ran them. A prominent case study, Sant'Apollinare in Classe, reveals the struggle between the Camaldolese, the municipality of Ravenna, and the Jesuits for control of Sant'Apollinare. his struggle was by no means unique, rather it defined the period.
