To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Castle of Fuentes was built by the Governor of Milan in 1603, despite promises to the contrary made to the Grisons by Francesco Sforza. The site, as key to the Valtellina, is emblematic of the sway of these foreign rulers. Colico is near, the Monte Legnone rises beyond, and all about the stronghold the ravages of inundations are discernible, whether of the Maira, and its tribu- tary the Liro, on the side of Chiavenna, or the deposits of the Adda in separating to a narrow channel the Lago di... Riva from Como, have wrought their work of depopulation and decay. The Governor of Milan suspected the advantages to the people of a new French treaty for the "5 A World's Shrine Grisons and the Valtellina, and erected the castle on the ridge of Montecchio at the entrance to the latter province, to dominate the road to Chiavenna, the lake, and the valley, and thus impede, at will, all trade with the mountain world of Rhetia. The act and motive were eminently Spanish. Francesco Sforza had ter- minated endless quarrels by a compact not to fortify any post on these routes.
