Le Le vicende della fondazione rosminiana di Trento. Peter Rigler ed Antonio Rosmini

Abstract

The article aims to reconstruct the stories, characters and places that characterized the foundation of a Rosminian community in Trento, focusing especially on the particular relationship between Rosmini himself and his South Tyrolean confrere Father Peter Rigler. In the period between 1830 and 1835, in fact, in Trento the two Tyrolean priests had the opportunity to enter into an exciting spiritual, formative, and human fellowship that marked their lives and works and the history of the Church in Trentino in the first half of the nineteenth century, especially in relation to Habsburg State authorities.
