Goethe

For all the unquestionably positive elements of this period, they masked serious sociopolitical problems. Naples witnessed the powerful feudal class take advantage of the peasants, the wealthy and dominant church still curtailed certain activities, and the weak agricultural economy (trade and manufacturing was relatively minor and was controlled by foreigners and the monarchy) hurt the region. Naples also suffered under corrupt administration.

Due to these problems, the city was resistant to reform. Some Enlightenment writers who were more in tune with these problems and less prone to celebration saw the city as fragile, vividly depicting it as a giant head over a sickly body. [106]
