This book explores the subject of baronial identity and material culture in sixteenth-century
Rome by focusing on the Duke of Bracciano, Paolo Giordano I Orsini, his court, and
his possessions. It is an investigation into the way in which a Roman baron constructed
and disseminated his sense of self through the objects he owned, the events he organized,
and the relationships he forged by means of material goods and works of art. The analysis
of the use of artistic and luxury goods in the form of pawns, rentals, loans, gifts,
and thefts shows how aristocratic patrimonies were subject to continual mobility and
served a multiplicity of goals. Supported by a wealth of documentation, mostly unpublished,
including inventories, correspondence and account books, this study provides a new
dynamic insight into a Renaissance aristocratic court
