Gargiulo's historical paintings have always attracted the attention of scholars, who haveattributed to the painter both revolutionary and reactionary political ideas. The aim of thisresearch is to identify the historical sources of those visual tales and to place Gargiulo'swork in the political-institutional Neapolitan early modern context. Gargiulo's politicalideal is analysed in the light of the institutional reforms promoted by Spain in the sixteenthcentury, a sociological analysis of the political bodies, the Catholic Counter-Reformation,the control devices and obedience coded by the authors of the Reason of State. WhileFrance, Holland and England through Calvinism and the scepticism of Montaigne demolishedontologism and affirmed the values of sociability, in the kingdom of Naples, as in therest of Italy, Catholicism and the Spanish rule had weakened the defenses, the economyand the conscience of the peoples. The current delay in economic and social developmentof our country and the weak sense of the state are rooted in those centuries.
