  Parthenopean Republic - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
PARTHENOPEAN REPUBLIC [Parthenopean Republic] [from Parthenope, an ancient name of Naples], state set up in Naples in Jan., 1799, by the French Revolutionary army under General Championnet and by liberal Neapolitans after the flight of King Ferdinand IV (later Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies).
Military reverses in N Italy prompted the evacuation by the French of Naples in May, and in June the republic fell.
Admiral Horatio Nelson, whose role in the victory was crucial, ignored Cardinal Ruffo's generous convention with the surrendering revolutionists and started the brutal reprisals that were continued by the restored king.

 Parthenopean Republic
Five months after its formation on 29 January 1799, the Neapolitan Republic was teetering under the combined onslaught of Cardinal Ruffo's popular, royalist army of Sanfedisti recruited from the bellicose peasants and bandits of Calabria, and the Lazzaroni, poor, unemployed, but devotedly royalist Neapolitans.
And those Republicans put to death, imprisoned and exiled for their part in establishing the Republic were not revolutionaries from the lower social orders but lords, gentlemen, generals, admirals, writers, poets, scientists, philosophers and lawyers.
As soon as the French army withdrew to the northern theatre of war, the Republic fell to the legions of Sanfedisti and lazzaroni, who began sacking the city then applauded the punitive measures taken by the monarchs and the English against the Republicans.

From the moment of the opening of the Assembly it was clear that the Girondins intended to precipitate the conflict between the Court and the nation by devoting all the wealth of their eloquence to the subjects which divided France the most.
Its population was not one-third of that of France or Austria; its wealth was perhaps not superior to that of the Republic of Venice.
The Republic which had floated so long in the thoughts of the Girondins was won in a single day by the populace of Paris, amid the roar of cannons and the flash of bayonets.

 Island Procida hotel Solcalante - Hotels Procida, Naples, Italy: description, history
In 1799 Procida supported the Neapolitan republic, the short history of which inspired, according to some, the national renaissance, and “Piazza dei Martiri”takes its name from the 16 Procidans executed there by the Bourbons.
In the second half of the 19th century the expanse of mechanic propulsion and a certain local reluctance to abandon traditional sailing led Procida to lose the foremost position in shipping it had enjoyed in the 18th and early 19th century.
This piazza is named for the 16 Procidan citizens hanged here following the brief Parthenopean republic which was brutally repressed by the Bourbons and a monument stands here dedicated to the memory of these citizens who died for their ideals of equality and freedom.
