summary: the bloody kiss of freedom
a bloody kiss on the mouth. Distribution of money to fellow mutineers from
a hat, described as a scene “from a fairy-tale” by a witness galley-rower, is com-
pared to a Robin Hood type of action. Drawing on the behaviour of the mu-
tineers, exemplified by the voyage of just one hour (this was all their naviga-
tion lasted), the mutiny of the Loredana is interpreted as a “perfect rebellion”
of those times.
Appendix
I. Lists of names of the crew on the galley Loredana.
II. Inventories of the remainder of the freight.

ry. He managed different national and international projects and published a
few monographs and several scientific articles.
