Abstract
In an attempt to bring to light the complex, multi-layered nature of earlymodern pageantry, the article explores two occasions of dynastic celebration within the Italian house of Savoy – the weddings of Carlo Emanuele I with Catherine of Austria in 1585, and of prince Vittorio Amedeo with Christine of France in 1619 – in terms of the possibilities they offered for the construction and projection of status. In order to examine to what extent these two wedding festivities provided not only the ducal house but also other social actors with spaces for representation, the analysis takes into consideration genealogical imagery in connection with the precise political context of the dynastic events, as well as the involvement of the municipal council of Turin in both the production and recording of the fête.
