The essay considers the atypical literary production of the humanist Tristano Caracciolo (Naples, 1437-1522) and analyses Caracciolo's controversial standing into political and cultural sphere of Naples between the end of XV century and the beginning of XVI century. In the De vitae auctoris actae notitia, his memoirs, and in other autobiographical and historical works, Caracciolo, member of Neapolitan nobility, focuses on events of major importance for history of Naples and its Kingdom. The essay shows the portrait of an intellectual who felt himself not entirely close to the reigning dynasty and was faithful to the native and austere mos maiorum of the Neapolitan nobility.
