The text centers around the impacts of the Reformation and the ensuing turbulence in religious beliefs, exploring significant characters embroiled in these conflicts, like Martin Luther and various reformers who tried to spread their new doctrines amidst growing tensions between warring factions. The opening of the work introduces the historical context surrounding the Valtellina region, highlighting its geographical significance and the socio-political dynamics at play during the Reformation. Cantù sets the stage by discussing the spread of Lutheran and Calvinist ideas among Swiss and Grison communities, with a focus on how these teachings began to penetrate into Italian territories, especially around Como. The narrative outlines the initial acceptance and subsequent backlash against these doctrines, detailing the conflict between traditional Catholic practices and the rise of evangelical beliefs, eventually leading to a violent confrontation known as the "Sacro Macello." Through a rich tapestry of historical references and theological debates, the author invites readers into a turbulent chapter of Italy's religious history, brimming with intrigue and societal change.
