Il saggio propone una lettura trasversale del rapporto istituito da Azzone Visconti con le città e le terre che lo riconoscono come signore. Per affermarsi all’interno dei singoli contesti locali, Azzone sembra infatti aver adottato e rielaborato, al fine di costruire e legittimare il proprio ruolo, un universo di concetti e simboli largamente diffusi nella cultura dell’epoca, che traspaiono dalle poche fonti documentarie ed iconografiche giunte sino a noi.

Abstract
The paper proposes a cross-reading of the relationship established by Azzone Visconti with the cities and lands, who recognize him as Lord. To succeed within individual local contexts, Azzone seems to adopt and revise, in order to build and legitimize its role, a universe of symbols and concepts widely disseminated in the culture of the time, that shine from the few documentary and iconographic sources come down to us.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
