Abstract

The essay investigates the development in eastern Lombardy of stable and transhumant breeding from the high to the late Middle Ages, with particular reference to the areas of the flat country and moutain pasture summer. Attention is also paid to dairy products, their types and the difference in the use of the words "cacio" and "formaggio" (cheese) since the Carolingian age.
