- This series is part of the "Government Acts" hyper-fonds which collects documents from the main magistracies and government offices of the State of Milan for the period covering the 15th to the 19th century. The files preserved in the boxes are not the result of the normal aggregation of documents from various offices but rather of a reorganisation "by subject" that was carried out from the end of the 18th until the second half of the 19th century.
