• Abstract
  The transition from Napoleonic administration of the Illyrian Provinces to that of the Habsburg Monarchy, even in the Littoral of Trieste, did not mark a simple restoration of the conservative order but a transitional period, little studied from the point of view of social and cultural history. While historiography has so far been mainly concerned with institutional changes, including the incorporation of French models and the substantial overcoming of the previous 'society of orders', it has failed to account for the cultural ferments that preceded 1848, taking it for granted that the outcome of the Restoration could only be the struggle between the nascent nationalities and the oppressive restoration of Vienna. On the contrary, the years around 1836 were surprisingly dynamic economically, with sudden steps forward and sudden stops leading to the subsequent revolutionary crisis. The case of Gorizia, a town little exposed to the liberal ferments of other central European territories, represents an interesting case study here approached both from a relational and global perspective through concrete examples taken from archival sources.
