E 'HIM OR NOT' HE?
Very interesting article by George Boatti our Certosa and Gian Galeazzo, Duke of Milan and lord of Pavia. As you may know, the story is also made against history, or of facts kept secret at the time, hidden behind a screen, and emerged several decades or centuries after the events. Thus the chronicles tell us that Gian Galeazzo took refuge in the castle of Melegnano to escape the contagion of the plague, but despite the different treatment where he died in September 1402. The body had become infected and caution the funeral was celebrated in the cathedral of Milan with the body absent. The fear was great, and pray in front of a plague-stricken corpse, and also discover how they used at the time, was considered dangerous thing for the faithful and especially for the noble gentlemen who have come from everywhere. And from here on out the story turns into a gossip secrets from notes because of a couple of monks, then taken up by historians and Giacinto Romano Pavia Bernardino Corio, it seems that the Duke's body was secretly cremated and the rich coffin wood and bronze was placed a corpse is not infected by an unknown Pavia died in those days. Very few were aware of the secret and now sealed the coffin was moved for a short time in St. Peter's Ciel d'Oro and then be buried in the beautiful marble tomb in the Certosa. So is he or is not he? We do not know ... If we give credit to the notes of the monks living at the time, not him, but even so, I believe now that it no longer matters to anyone. Do you still follow the thinking of the library Boatti Visconti and on a possible digitization project. Wonderful idea, after two centuries at least we could get back into an image that treasure of knowledge that Napoleon stole it in 1796. From that predation was saved only one volume: a hand-annotated by Petrarch Virgilio, randomly deposited in the house of a bunting, Messer Fulvio Orsino, and then bought by Cardinal Borromeo and entrusted to the Biblioteca Ambrosiana. The fate of the volume was probably unlucky ripredato ended by Napoleon in the National Library in Paris, where the precious tie velvet and silver was replaced by another blue leather with a big N on his forehead. After tight diplomatic contacts we were only returned in 1815 and is still visible in the Ambrosiana. For the rest of the library but the French have always responded that "they are spoils of war e. .. Therefore, we keep them. " Well, Vive la France ... In tiny, of course.
