Abstract

The rupture between the count of Aranda and Campomanes in 1771 and the cessation of Aranda in the presidency of the Council of Castile in 1773 are the most visible signs of the involution of the government of Carlos III, manifested in the reaction against the theatre and public spectacles that Aranda had personally supported. The first victim was Niccolò Setaro, an opera entrepreneur who suffered prison and death in Bilbao because of the sodomy accusation launched by the corregidor, which allows to verify the change of orientation of the prosecutor Campomanes, who not only did not protect the prisoner, but piled on the terrible sin without noticing that it was slander by the local clergy.
