Sanguis Domini Mantuae
Le inventiones del prezioso Sangue di Cristo nella costruzione dell'Imperium Christianum e dell'identità civica di Mantova

December 804. Pope Leo III undertakes a journey to meet Charlemagne. He stops in Mantua in order to investigate a recent and stunning event: the discovery of the relics of Christ’s blood. With this news the thousand-year-long tradition of the veneration of the Holy Blood in Mantua assumes an historically solid appearance. Beginning with this discovery, the volume carries out a rigorous historiographical research, using a new anthropological approach to analyse the intricacies associated with the precious relic in the Middle Ages.
