The discovery in the State Archives of Milan of three unknoun documents of the
years 1215, 1219, 1260, concerning both the parish of San Pietro of Brebbia and the archbishop
of Milan, sheds new light on aspects of the history of the lower Verbano, an important
area of the archbishop’s feudal possessions. The first part of the article describes the activity of
the chapter of Brebbia in the late 12th and the 13th century, focusing on economical aspects
and relationships with the local community. The second part examines the actions and competences
of the archbishop’s officials in Brebbia during the 13th century, and provides evidence
for the archbishop’s management of his lands, a topic which is little known due to the lack of
documents. The edition of the three deeds concludes the essay.
