Short description of contents:

Exactly 300 years ago (1707), the Gonzaga duchy met its inglorious end. Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga undoubtedly contributed to such a collapse, as he was more interested in court musical entertainments than in the duchy’s “governance”. In this context, thanks to the find of precious accounting books – now at the Mantua Public Records Office –, and in accordance with the institutional theoretical framework, we intend to verify the synchronic link between the duchy system of rules, the management of a music organizational network build up in the duchy itself, and its accounting system. We develop this analysis by considering: i. the social contexts in which the music events were organized; ii. the structures and procedures appointed to finance and organize the events and provide rewards to musicians; iii. the accounting books designed to record the related expenses; iv. the actual implementation of such processes, as well as the power relationships.
