Fondata nel 1366, la Certosa di Calci costituisce uno degli esempi più significativi di insediamento certosino in Italia. Il suo impianto, discendente dalla rigida applicazione della “Regola”, trova qui un singolare adattamento alla morfologia della Valle Graziosa. Le testimonianze iconografiche e cartografiche conservate in sede, presso la Grand Chartreuse di Grenoble e in altri fondi d’archivio sono state fondamentali nello studio del complesso: la loro analisi critica, insieme all’esame delle fonti manoscritte e alle campagne di rilievo, ha permesso di comprendere più a fondo le fasi di sviluppo del complesso sin dalla fase medievale e il suo ruolo nel contesto territoriale.

Abstract
Founded in 1366, the Charterhouse of Calci is one of the most important examples of Carthusian monasteries in Italy. Its layout, deriving by the strict application of the “Rule”, founds here a characteristic adaptation to the morphology of the Graziosa Valley. The iconographic and cartographic sources – stored in situ, in the Grand Chartreuse of Grenoble and in other archives – have been fundamental in the study of the complex: their critical analysis, together with the study of the manuscript sources and the architectural surveys, has allowed to deepen the phases of development of the complex since its origins and to understand its role in the territorial context.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
