The fight among the Papal Seat and the Bourbon Courts that characterised the reign of Clement XIII, arrived at its culmination in the year 1768 after the Pope condemned the Duke of Parma, Fernando of Bourbon, and its ministers. The response of France and Spain, which materialised substantially with the military reprisals of Avignon, Benevento and Pontecorvo, was accepted with a lot of resignation by the State Secretary of Naples, Bernardo Tanucci. The analysis of his confidential correspondence with the State Secretary of Spain, Jerónimo Grimaldi, and with the King Charles III, gives us a clear enough image of the Minister position as regards the events of that year, showing the isolation and the defeat of his political line.
