Abstract

[Autom. eng. transl.] The feast of Corpus Domini, established in 1264 by Pope Urban IV, was introduced in Venice, as a feast of precept and solemn celebration, with the Decree of 31 May 1295 of the Maggior Consiglio. Corpus Christi gained a prominent role in the civic ritual of the Serenissima - as a model of centralized and standardized liturgy - when the solemn Eucharistic procession through the streets of the city in 1407 was introduced for the first time, with the explicit purpose of honoring Christ and the Patria.Il essay reconstructs its history and development by showing how - alongside this state Catholicism - the brotherhoods of the Blessed Sacrament took root ever more strongly - between State trumpets and church bells, between self-criticism and celebration - they thus succeeded in developing a Roman Catholicism in the churches, parish and not, through the Eucharistic theaters.
