Abstract
The focus of this chapter has shifted between two political contexts: the period of the Spanish viceroys between 1503 and 1707, and the early phase of a new dynasty, beginning with Charles of Bourbon. Just as it had been in the Renaissance and Baroque eras, 18th-century Naples remained a large and sophisticated city. Although certainly particular in its features, it was arguably not as different from other capitals as it has often been made out to be. Locating the natural sciences within Naples might serve in a fashion to situate it, orienting us to the ways in which it was a European city. Keywords:Baroque era; early modern Naples; European city; natural sciences; political context; renaissance
