The Friendship between Carlo Broschi Farinelli and the Marquis de la Ensenada through European Diplomacy, Iconography, Propaganda, History and Literature
Abstract In this article I present three manuscripts kept in the National Library of Spain (BNE), relating to the rise and fall of the Marquis of Ensenada, identified as Mss/5709, Mss/1962 and Mss/11038. The three sources connect the power of the minister with the castrato Farinelli, assuring that both collaborated through opera and the Tajo squadron to obtain some favors. Some historians underline the madness of Ferdinand VI assuring that they both formed part of a «therapeutic team» aimed at preventing the kings, through the festivities, from obstructing the government projects. This has given rise to a true mythology around the friendship between Ensenada and Farinelli, but the reality is much more complex. Using court correspondence and other sources, most of them unknown until now in the Farinelli studies, we will try to clarify the scope of this friendship.
