Considerazioni intorno ai "limes sacrali" lombardi e piemontesi e al loro ruolo di pacifico presidio del territorio dell'arcidiocesi ambrosiana.

- Abstract
The essay focuses on Santino Langé's studies on the "limes sacrali" in the Alpine area published about twenty years ago (in 1999 and 2002) and it develops in an overall vision the main issues he has dealt with: from conceptual programs to perception of the buildings by the faithful of the Ambrosian archdiocese. While, at the end of the Wars of Italy, the Spanish government defined the imposing program of fortification of the borders of the Duchy, the ecclesiastical hierarchy was engaged in a similar activity of control and "reconquest", after the spread of the reform of Ulrico Zwingli in the territories of the Republic of the Three Leagues. The headquarters where the "general staff" of this war was formed was the seminary for the Swiss and Grisons clergy established in Milan in 1576; the cornerstones were the sanctuaries (and in particular the Sacri Monti) which arose progressively along the valley roads and which came to constitute a system of architectures with a marked symbolic value.
