Strutture della popolazione, aggregati domestici, speranze di vita, vedovaggio e remarriage nella Sicilia d’età moderna
Population structures, domestic aggregates, life expectancy, widowing and remarriage in modern Sicily
Abstract
The paper aims to highlight the structural elements of the most widespread family models of Sicily in the Modern age: such as numerical extension of households, personal data of its components, type and aggregative interests. Factors that dispel the false myth of a Mediterranean archetype characterized by the patriarchal regime, by the habit of young married couples to settle in the house of one of their parents, and the prohibition of the marriage of widows.
Il contributo si pone l’obiettivo di mettere in luce gli elementi strutturali dei più diffusi modelli familiari della Sicilia d’Età moderna: quali estensione numerica degli households, anagrafica dei suoi componenti, tipologia e interessi aggregativi. Fattori che sfatano il falso mito di un archetipo domestico mediterraneo contraddistinto dal regime patriarcale, dall’abitudine da parte delle giovani coppie di sposi di stabilirsi nella casa di uno dei genitori, e dalla proibizione del matrimonio delle vedove.
