Carlo Marieni, tra rivoluzione e restaurazione
Note per una biografia
Abstract
This study reconstructs the biographical, political, and intellectual trajectory of Carlo Marieni through archival sources, printed works, and legislative records from the Cisalpine Republic. A member of the government of the Republic of Bergamo in 1797, Marieni was later appointed to the Council of Junior Members for the Department of Serio. Following the Austro-Russian occupation of 1799, he went into exile in Grenoble. From 1802 onward, he joined the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Italian Republic, where he was appointed chief archivist. The end of the Napoleonic era did not mark his departure from the administration; during the Restoration, he continued to oversee the Archive of the Ministry of Religious Affairs until 1839. Marieni was also active as a translator, publishing an Italian edition of Germain Garnier’s De la propriété dans ses rapports avec le droit politique in 1802, and as a scholar, authoring Della rigenerazione delle pecore nel regno d’Italia (1812), a work dedicated to Francesco Melzi d’Eril. His career offers a focused yet significant lens through which to examine continuities and ruptures in political culture between the revolutionary and restoration periods.
