Juan Bautista Cassani Vivaldo. A Genoese Businessman as Diplomatic Agent of the Swiss Cantons in the Madrid of Carlos II
Abstract
The defence of their territories will force the Hispanic Monarchy to a continued recruitment of regiments from the Swiss Cantons, which will encourage their bilateral relationships. The cantonal envoys will play an essential role in the diplomatic networks. This research has focused on the task carried out in the Spanish court, during the second half of seventeenth century, by the Swiss ambassador Juan Bautista Cassani Vivaldo, a Genoese businessman with important contacts inside the political elite.
