• Abstract
  The Cobenzl family, originally from the Karst near Gorizia, played a role of extraordinary importance in modern Europe between 1508 and 1823 in many fields, from politics to diplomacy, from religion to art. Giovanni / Ivan / Hans Cobenzl, a true “homo novus” of the Renaissance, decisively shaped the characteristics that the family maintained until the end, tying its fortunes to those of the Habsburg dynasty. Thanks to the presence of the family archive in Gorizia, it is possible to investigate their history in depth. There may be several possible research paths, including heraldry, residences and possessions (including Palazzo Cobenzl which became the Archbishopric of Gorizia), and the story of the family members who took religious vows. The relationship between the Cobenzl and the Jesuits was of primary importance, despite Saint Ignatius having removed Hans from the Germanic College. His nephew Raffaele distinguished himself for his doctrine and organizational skills and brought the Society of Jesus to Gorizia. Some members of the family became Poor Clares and Ursulines, also assuming roles of responsibility. The last Cobenzl descendant was forced to leave the monastery of Santa Chiara due to the Josephinist reforms and she had to go back to live in her father’s house where she died. This overview serves as an introduction to the entire volume, which is the result of a multidisciplinary investigation carried by an international team of academics and scholars.
