Tanucci, Bernardo, Marchese

Tanucci, Bernardo, Marchese

▪ Italian statesman
born Jan. 20, 1698, Stia, Italy
died April 29, 1783, Naples [now in Italy]

      foremost statesman of the Kingdom of Naples-Sicily in the 18th century.

      Though a northerner, Tanucci came to the attention of the Spanish Bourbon prince Don Carlos, the future Charles III of Spain, who ruled Naples-Sicily in the middle decades of the century and who made Tanucci first secretary of state for justice and later foreign minister. Tanucci intelligently carried out Charles's policy of making the southern Italian kingdom genuinely independent, and in 1759, when Charles inherited the Spanish throne, Tanucci became one of the regents of the young king Ferdinand IV of Naples. In 1768 Ferdinand appointed him premier secretary of state, in effect prime minister, but he encountered opposition from the queen, Maria Carolina, around whom the nobility rallied. Tanucci was forced to resign in 1776 and spent his last years in retirement.
