“…Festivals and dances where youth could gather in groups, perhaps with reduced work obligations, allowed them the opportunity to use urban spaces as a means of openly developing and signifying their relationships. 30 During these festivals, often overladen with themes of youth, play, feasting, drinking, and general commensality, public promenades were a sure sign of a couple's status. 31 Hardwick argues that "in the heterosociability of the streets and in view of the world, young people felt free to engage in public displays of affections without fear of reprimand or damage to their honour."…”

“…This difference is also found in studies on France and Spain and is broadly echoed in the court proceedings of early modern Bologna. 81 A legal and normative dimension was added to this division by the city statutes that suggested that respectable women should be accompanied to the tavern by male kin or were otherwise considered to be donne di mala vita ("bad women") and could be subjected to punishments ranging from public whipping to exile. 82 The built urban environment also contributed to the gendered pattern.…”

This article examines the violence committed by men and women that appeared before the eighteenth century criminal courts in two cities in Europe: one in the North (Rotterdam, Holland) and one in the South (Bologna, Italy). The results provide further evidence for the existence of a broader pattern of nonlethal violence in early modern Europe that shared many of its characteristics among men and women. The comparison between Rotterdam and Bologna also revealed significant differences with regard to the pattern of violence. First, domestic violence was regularly prosecuted by the criminal court of Rotterdam, though seldom by the criminal court of Bologna. Second, the Rotterdam women represent a much larger share as offenders in the category of fighting than the women of Bologna (41 percent compared to 17 percent). Finally, the urban geography of violence was much more gendered in Bologna. The article argues that this divergent pattern can be explained by the significant differences between Bologna and Rotterdam with regard to women's social and legal positions. Whereas in Bologna, women's free movement was limited because of various factors, women in Holland had more free, independent, and public lives.
