Abstract


Beginning from the discovery, in the “Archivio di Stato” of Palermo, of an inventory containing the belongings confiscated from Manfredi Alagona in 1393, this work reconstructs the story of the treasure of the Sicilian queens (Costanza of Aragon and Maria of Sicily), that had been confiscated from the powerful Alagona family, originally from Aragon, who moved to Sicily. A detailed study of the inventoried movables allows the analysis of several aspects connected to customs and society at the end of the XIVth century, from clothing to utensils, from taste and fashion to care of appearance, from the love of jewels to the workship of relics.
