Not only did an excellent translation of the book appear in 1775, but it was also widely read and quoted in the last quarter of the Eighteenth century. Galiani’s success needs to be interpreted in the broader context of the enormous interest that the figures of the Neapolitan Enlightenment aroused among their Spanish contemporaries, although his manysided role as economist, diplomat, consultant and high-ranking official in the Regno delle Due Sicilie meant that he had a closer connection with the Spanish world of his day than other Italian Enlightenment scholars. Galiani cultivated close relationships, both in person and through correspondence, with key politicians and officials of Charles III’s reign during almost three decades. His ‘Spanish background’ thus amounted to more than simply the intellectual business connected with the reception, circulation and active use of his writings in the Kingdom of Spain. This article’s main aim is therefore to reconstruct the ‘Spanish’ Galiani, starting from his relationships with Spanish diplomatic networks when he was employed at the Neapolitan embassy in Paris from 1759 to 1769. As his correspondence shows, Galiani found these networks an ideal setting for forging human relationships, as well as a stronghold that enabled him both to consolidate his political influence in what he called the «café de l’Europe» and to put together the Dialogues. 000164048 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/H26-20D$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2020-115261RB-I00 000164048 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess$$aAll rights reserved$$uhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 000164048 592__ $$a0.104$$b2022 000164048 593__ $$aHistory$$c2022$$dQ4 000164048 593__ $$aEconomics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous)$$c2022$$dQ4 000164048 594__ $$a0.1$$b2022 000164048 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000164048 7102_ $$14014$$2225$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
