Italian History and Culture - N. 13, A. 2008: I luoghi del sacro. il sacro e la citta fra Medioevo ed Eta Moderna

A conference held at Georgetown University by the Center for the Study of Italian History and Culture in 2006 examined the relationship between cities and sacredness in all of its forms, especially in regards to rituals, between the Middle Ages and Early Modern Period. The articles consider urban space and its intrinsic social, religious and political functions, a comparison that brings out questions of collective representation and social order in the Italian geopolitical context.
