Abstract

In this text I will argue that Beatrice used cultural and social otherness as devices for constructing an image and managing her power as the Duchess of Savoy. In doing this, I will refer to two specific occasions for which the Infanta created the decorative schemes, namely descriptions of the festivities held for the baptisms of her two sons: her firstborn, Adrian-John-Amadeus (19 December 1522–10 January 1523), and Emmanuel Philibert (8 July 1528–30 August 1580), the only one of the two to outlive his parents, inheriting his father’s dukedom and restoring the duchy’s autonomy.
