Personaggi
Ludovico Madruzzo (1532-1600; Prince-Bishop 1567-1600)
During the government of Cristoforo Madruzzo, the Pope nominated Ludovico coadjutor to his uncle with right of succession. In 1561 he was nominated Cardinal, to become Prince-Bishop of Trento six years later upon the resignation of his uncle. Numerous initiatives demonstrate Ludovico’s interest for his Principality: in 1579 he started his Pastoral visits; he introduced registers of births and weddings to the churches; he established the rules to follow in the administration of ecclesiastical goods and sacraments.
He was friend to Charles Borromeo, Archbishop of Milan, from whom he imitated a spirit of reform, translating the Council decisions into disciplinary subjects and doctrines. He continued with the Council spirit convoking a Synod diocese in 1593 that concluded in promulgating the constitutions for maintenance of the religion and ecclesiastical discipline. He also put into action a project started by Cristoforo Madruzzo by founding the Seminary.
