| Summary: | This study takes into consideration two distant and different spaces, compared through ceremonies of bishop’s entry. Based on visual and written documents, this comparative exercise is focused on solemn Episcopal entries into some dioceses of the kingdom of Naples, until now neglected by historiography, and on those of the Portuguese territory of Europe and overseas. The study tries to answer to the following questions: what are the categories that give meaning to this high moment of manifestation and representation of the Episcopal dignity, as well as the city center of the diocesan government? Chronological and spatial dimension, symbolic, theological and topographical systems can contribute to make intelligible the extraordinary community rites linked to the Tridentine reform direct in the half of XVI century? Which elements distinguish or approach the socio-cultural dynamics generated in the different territories examined?
