  • Sezione 1 Anagrafe 1569
    INTRODUZIONE STORICO ARCHIVISTICA I Storia della parrocchia di S. Francesco in Moggio L’edificazione di una chiesa dedicata a S. Francesco d’Assisi in Moggio risale, come giustamente osservato dallo Zastrow, alla metà del sec. XIII, data mediana tra la diffusione della devozione successiva alla canonizzazione nel 1228 e la prima attestazione dell’edificio nel Liber Notitiae di Goffredo da Bussero (morto poco dopo il 1289). Non si può escludere nemmeno un’influenza indiretta esercitata da Leone da Perego (+1257), frate francescano a quel tempo arcivescovo di Milano Con la formazione ed il definitivo consolidamento delle strutture parrocchiali, avvenuto nel corso del sec. XV, la cura d’anime del luogo di Moggio venne affidata ai rettori della chiesa di S. Giorgio in Cremeno. La visita pastorale condotta nel luglio 1455 dall’arcivescovo Gabriele Sforza conferma: “Ecclesia Sancti Francisci de Modio tenetur per rectore de Cremeno”. Quattro anni dopo si ha notizia di un intervento di decorazione della chiesa di S. Francesco. --- o --- A più di un secolo di distanza giunse in visita pastorale l’arcivescovo Carlo Borromeo. Nella prima visita pastorale del 1566 rilevò come la rendita annua (legati esclusi) della chiesa di S. Francesco ammontasse a £. 50 e venisse in parte impiegata per la manutenzione ed in parte per l’officiatura festiva da parte di un cappellano che però risultava essere vacante. Ordinò quindi al parroco di Cremeno un maggior impegno nei confronti della comunità di Moggio. Ma il desiderio di una maggiore e definitiva autonomia da Cremeno spinsero la comunità di Moggio ad intavolare una trattativa con l’autorità ecclesiastica che portò alla definitiva erezione parrocchiale nell’autunno del 1569, con territorio smembrato dalla cura di S.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by AIR Universita degli studi di Milano 1 Article paru dans le volume : Les Cérémonies extraordinaires du catholicisme baroque © Presses Universitaires Blaise-Pascal, 2009 Paola Vismara Les splendeurs de la dévotion à Milan. Du baroque aux Lumières Au centre de mon analyse et de mon exposition sur les cérémonies extraordinaires il y a Milan. Une ville entre autres, un diocèse entre autres ; mais très important à cette époque. Une ville et un diocèse dont Louis Châtellier a écrit: « Qu’on ne dise pas: ce n’est qu’une province de l’Europe. Mais quelle province! Celle qui fut modelée par Charles Borromée [...]. Milan est sur l’axe médian de l’Europe catholique [...] dans les terres de choix du catholicisme tridentin »1. Le renouveau catholique s’y implanta e y persista. Au coeur de ce renouveau il y a - bien sûr - Charles Borromée, mais sa spiritualité marquée par une forte rigueur est tout de suite après tempérée par son cousin Frédéric (qui ressent l’influence de Filippo Neri), et par l’enracinement de la spiritualité de la Compagnie de Jésus 2. De tout cela découle une spiritualité très simple, qui exalte la mediocritas , et, finalement, le fait d’être un bon chrétien dans la vie de chaque jour, au travail comme en famille. À côté de cela on peut constater, sans contradiction, un penchant vers la dévotion extérieure : deux facettes qui se correspondent et complètent parfaitement. Ce qui est évident dans les dévotions quotidiennes, même dans les rues et aux carrefours, par-devant les images, l’est encore plus dans les 1.

This article discusses the work of Antonella Cupillari, Franco Minonzio, and Massimo Mazzotti in relation to earlier studies of Agnesi and reflects on the current state of this subject in light of the author’s own research on Agnesi. Ó 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Riassunto La recente pubblicazione di tre libri dedicati a Maria Gaetana Agnesi (1718-99) è un’occasione per riflettere su come abbiamo compreso e frainteso l’eredità nella storia della matematica di un’autrice di un importante testo in volgare, le Instituzioni analitiche ad uso della gioventù italiana (Milano, 1748), e una fra le donne della sua gener- azione più conosciute per aver coltivato la filosofia naturale e la matematica. Questo articolo discute i lavori di Antonella Cupillari, Franco Minonzio, e Massimo Mazzotti in relazione a studi precedenti, e riflette sullo stato corrente degli studi su questo argomento alla luce della ricerca sull’Agnesi che l’autrice stessa sta conducendo.

  • Virtue and Diligence Jan Brueghel Land Federico Borromeo
    2°3 Virtue and Diligence Jan Brueghel land Federico Borromeo L.c. Cuder 'What little virtue that Almighty God has given me will always be in the ser­ vice of your Excellency', Jan Brueghel (1568-1625 fig. I) assured his patron Federico Borromeo, Archbishop ofMilan, (1564-1631 fig. 2) in a letter dated 12 March 1610.' This article will examine how virtue and diligent service are entwined in Brueghel's relationship with and work for his patron. The first half of the paper will consider how Brueghel's relationship with his patron is based on the mutual acknowledgement of virtue through friendship, and how Brueghel's role in this virtuous exchange is to offer diligence or loving service. Brueghel, I shall argue, adopts a mode of courdy behaviour that emulated van Eyck and Apelles, both models of the diligent court artist. The second half of this article will focus on the paintings, examining how Brueghel's style was understood as an emulation of Apelles' virtuosity. It will then consider how diligence was understood by both men to be manifest and visible in Brueghel's paintings. Finally, it will look at how the virtue of the paintings lay in their constituting a diligent mode of address by the artist both to his patron and to God. Jan Brueghel, following in his father Peter Bruegel 1's footsteps, made the journey to haly in the early 1590S. By 1595 he was in Rome where he met Federico Borromeo. 2 The young Cardinal Borromeo, cousin to San Carlo Borromeo, and protege of San Filippo Neri and Gabriele Paleotti was at the centre of a group of clerics for whom the regeneration and defence of Catholic art against Protestant attack was a central concern.J Borromeo through his writing, collecting and patronage adopted the cause of counter­ reformation art.
