RT Article T1 Visite pastorali e dinamiche comunitarie. La Valle Varaita saluzzese nella prima età moderna JF Rivista di storia della Chiesa in Italia VO 78 IS 2 SP 403 OP 446 A1 Corniolo, Elena 1988- LA Italian YR 2024 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1929974337 AB The article focuses on community relations described and also generated by the practice of the pastoral visitation. The research analyzes four records of pastoral visitation dated between 1533 and 1584 and carried out by the bishop of Saluzzo in the Varaita Valley (Piedmont). It deals with the link between the parish and the community through lexical analysis and observation of the ceremonial and ritual practices. At that time, both institutions were structured and defined from a community perspective, they were interconnected, but separated. The long-term approach, from the late Middle Ages until the first decades after the Council of Trent, allows us to reflect on this topic, highlighting the developments.
