En este artículo se pretende contribuir al conocimiento de los sucesos bélicos acaecidos en Génova
durante la primavera de 1747, a través del intercambio de correspondencia inédita entre algunos de
los principales aliados españoles de esta república, capitaneados por Carvajal y Ensenada que encontraron
en don Fernando de Silva, duque de Huéscar (luego de Alba), el mejor enlace para la conformación
de una red social que permitiera un conocimiento extraoficial que mejorara la capacidad de
actuación a favor de los intereses de España en dicha república. Un análisis interpersonal de un hecho
histórico que pone de manifiesto la «tensa relación» diplomática entre Francia y España, unidas por
el Pacto de Familia de 1743 y que determinó las estrategias diplomáticas llevadas por ambos durante
las negociaciones de la paz de Aquisgrán, que puso fin a la Guerra de Sucesión Austriaca.
With this article we’re trying to contribute to the knowledge of the warlike events occurred in Genoa
during the spring of 1747, through the exchange of unknown correspondence among some of the
principal Spanish allies of this republic, led by Carvajal and Ensenada who found in don Fernando of
Silva, Duke of Huéscar (later Duke of Alba), the best link for the conformation of a social network that
allowed an unofficial knowledge in order to improve the capacity of action in favour of the interests
of Spain in the above mentioned republic. An interpersonal analysis of a historical fact that reveals
the diplomatic «tense relationship” between France and Spain, joined by the Family agreement of 1743
and that was decisive for the diplomatic strategies accomplished by both of them during the
negotiations of the Peace of Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), which came to an end with the War of the
Austrian Succession.
