Piero Ventura's "La capitale dei privilegi" meticulously reconstructs the intricate system of Neapolitan citizenship during the sixteenth century, a period when Naples flourished under Spanish rule. The book reveals how the Regia Camera della Sommaria, the Kingdom of Naples's highest fiscal magistracy, meticulously evaluated requests and granted citizenship, bestowing significant fiscal and jurisdictional privileges upon its recipients within the capital.

This historical account details the Spanish government's measured approach to maintaining political and social equilibrium in a vital yet complex city like Naples. It illustrates how the Sommaria asserted state control over these privileges, effectively making Neapolitan citizenship a tool of the state and often curtailing the authority of the municipal government. This work offers an understanding of the bureaucracy, power dynamics, and unique social stratification that defined Naples as a city of distinct advantages compared to other territories within the Kingdom.
