Stati di guerra. I bilanci della Lombardia francese del primo Cinquecento

It is a common belief that there is a scarcity of “new” primary sources for the French dominion of Lombardy during the 16th century. This is for different reasons, but particularly because most of these sources were destroyed or published between the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. So the discovery of the états promoted by Di Tullio and Fois is very important because it presents to the general Italian public such sources on the Duchy of Milan, in the first years of the 16th century, that are not so easy to understand since they were written in French.
