Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna, Viceroy of Naples
During the last months of his life, Lorenzo Onofrio obtained the post he had arguably awaited his entire life, that of Viceroy of the Kingdom of Naples. However, he was allowed to occupy this post for only three months, between November 1687 and January 1688; upon the arrival of the new Viceroy, Colonna had to return to Rome. Despite his very short stay, newly-found documents show that Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna spent a sum of money that was considered “extraordinary” for the time to stage operas. This chapter investigates Lorenzo Onofrio’s patronage in Naples as well as his connections with the Neapolitan musical world.
