The twelve panels, complete with captions, which depict in an ideal order and with a lively language some episodes in the life of the Saint, can be considered an <em>unicum</em>, a direct reference to the presence of St. Charles in the Three Ambrosian Valleys, and a testimony of his reforming pastoral action, implemented according to the resolutions of the Council of Trent also thanks to the charismatic figure of Basso.</p>}, journal={Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere • Rendiconti di Lettere}, author={Dionigi, Renzo and Fontana, Sara}, year={2021}, month={ago.} }
