• Abstract
  The profile of Francesco Carlo Coronini, author of a poetic Testament highly appreciated by Casanova, offers unprecedented insights into 18th century Gorizia society. Coronini’s biography lies at the edge of two eras delimited by Maria Theresia’s reforms which, by compressing local autonomies, forced many nobles to seek fortune in the Habsburg army and administration. Coronini fought in the Seven Years War in the regiment of the Duke of Lorraine and, with the support of his powerful uncle Charles Cobenzl, found a place in the court of Brussels. After a prestigious marriage of interest failed, he returned to his hometown to devote himself to letters and conversations. He participated in the foundation of the Gazzetta goriziana and was a correspondent of Casanova. The Testament depicts Gorizia as a place open to the most updated European cultural trends.
