Specialist Notes

First edition of a work on Neapolitan economics of notable importance and great rarity which cost the Neapolitan scholar his exile on Pantelleria. The volume contains essays and proposals on coinage, furnishings and the onciary land registry as well as the precious summaries of other writings that Broggia intended to publish. Written in a direct manner, harshly critical of the government and without any regard for Bourbon ministers and officials, the work was opposed and prohibited by the authorities, in particular by the head of the Finance Department De Gregorio who, in addition to prohibiting the dissemination of the written, condemned Broggia to exile on the Sicilian island.
