The importance of events is today reevaluated in historical research, as is also the importance of war in cultural and social structures . Also, the early-modern press and ephemeral and factual literature is the object of more and more investigation today. And there had never been so many texts published for any event before the second siege of Vienna, which is from this point of view a turning point. The second siege of Vienna is therefore a good topic for a cross-study that seeks to open up the meaning of the event, by observing it in different contexts. I have chosen to start a transnational study of 3 geographical zones, each one differently but closely linked with the event: Italy, Spain, and France. How was the event received, distributed and interpreted on a local ground? Can we identify formal or ideological transfers? What can it tell us about Europe and the European public stage of the end of the 17th century?

Iconography of a Catholic Victory: The Battle of Lepanto from the Eyes of Its Contemporaries2023 •
This paper examines the 16th-century artistic and celebratory representations of the Battle of Lepanto, a legendary naval conflict between the Ottoman Empire and the Holy League. Viewed through the eyes of its contemporaries, it particularly focuses on religious depictions, highlighting the symbolic significance attributed to this event in Italian art during the Counter-Reformation period. It analyzes the Battle of Lepanto, a crucial naval encounter on October 7, 1571, for its extended symbolism beyond military significance, as seen through the perspectives of contemporary artists.
This paper focuses on the festive practices in the Spanish court and the diplomatic problems of etiquette and personal position in the planta of the procession that emerged in relation to both the Count of Mansfeld, imperial ambassador, and the Cardinal-Nuncio Savo Mellini. It also examines the opposition of the royal authorities to any kind of “innovation” in the ceremony, the different interpretations of the image of Carlos II, and the political discourse of this public cavalcade to the Royal Convent of Our Lady of Atocha. The ceremonies were used to celebrate and elevate the position of this king, who had not taken part in the victorious siege of Vienna. An analysis of the celebratory representations allows one to establish an interpretative framework in which to consider the political functions of the rituals surrounding concerning the triumph of the allied Christian armies over the Turks. The symbolic language of the festivities, which included visual images, the meaning-laden choreography of the events, and the composition of works of imaginative literature, was intended to emphasize the majesty of the Spanish monarch, his devotion to the Christian faith, and the tremendous debt of thanks he was, implicitly, due.
