Pio XI dalla ‘bianca Brianza’ al governo della Chiesa universale
abstract
The following sketched balance of the Congress focuses on four key points: the importance of considering the cultural and intellectual background of Pius XI and the effects on his character; the change of perspective in 1938; the necessity of an inter-disciplinary approach; the care to distinguish between Pius XI’s position and the one of his secretary of State, Pacelli.
