The facts that I go in this and the next chapter to tell are of importance than other comparably developed in this book.

A venturi was, seized the opportunity of the times, became lord of the lake and Valsassina, and some time remained in his little war was inflicting the Grisons, the Duke of Milan and the Emperor. This was called the Medeghino Gio.Giacomo Doctors, who obtained with murder and deception with the castle of Musso, fortified in it by taking money to all those who wanted to enlist under his banner (1523).
At that time Francis I, King of France was preparing to buy back some of the Milanese. In aid of him already had come down from the Alps Graubünden 5000 under the guidance of Renzo da Ceri, who had to go to Lodi and join the Italian infantry led by Federico da Cocoon.

The doctor who had had notice, in order to please the duke and get yourself and the investiture of the Tri-Parishes Musso, both of them walked up to the shores of Lake Rezzonico and Bella, seizing all the boats, so Dietegano could not use it. In fact had come to Colico defilade troops to steep paths to Valsassina, and had to take six days to reach Bellano Doctors continually thwarted by his having to put up with cannon fire on boats and often placed in the most difficult and defends flights. Going into the networks in almost everything Valsassina revenge beaten. Bloomed in Lecco and then brought in Gera d'Adda. But as Gray saw the Three Leagues from Doctors Chiavenna threatened, recall the willow which he reviewed the Valsassina with all haste, and had traveled to Colico, attempted the passage of the Adda and RECOSS in Three Parishes to fight the doctor, where they came from rejected.

The Grisons were going well in preparation for this war, and already had weapons and armament surge Valtellina, and referred eziandio six thousand soldiers who fought in the pay of the French under the walls of Pavia.

But since I can nothing all that device of war, the Doctors, not to go home with empty hands, at night he rose to the castle of Monguzzo, which was watched by Alessandro Bentivoglio, and took it.
To order by Antonio de Leyva, who succeeded to the command of the troops in Pescara Caesar, who saw the spirit of ill-magnification questo partigiano dello Sforza, il conte Lodovico Belgiojoso portossi a Monguzzo per togliere il castello dalle mani del Medeghino, ma vi fu respinto colla perdita di più di cento soldati e quattro cannoni.
Resosi il Medici padrone di Monguzzo, facilmente veniva in suo potere quasi tutta la Brianza. E perché necessitava di pecunia, quanti ricchi e facoltosi v’erano nei dintorni imprigionò per trarne riscatto col qual mezzo potè assoldare alcune compagnie di Grigioni, e annoverare così quattromila fanti e cinquecento cavalli. Con queste forze mosse a Carate. Ma il Leyva, cui, com’egli stesso diceva, tornavan più dannose le tumultuarie bande del Medici, che non le truppe ducali, avuto avviso of this march, in the evening he left Milan, and at dawn he found himself following with good troops to Carate. Fierce and obstinate battle was kindled between the two armies, but the outcome was unfavorable for our stubbornness of Grisons, suspecting that the Doctors, they abandoned their assigned places (1528).
was then governor of a Villaterello Lecco, English, to the intense enemy Medeghino. He, having never been able to trick or military force or to take to curb the Medici, decided to levargli Musso with fraud. Gasparino called him a Sardis, his prisoner, already inherent in the Medici, and now they showed dissatisfaction, promised freedom if removed to the castle Musso. Accepted the proposal and given a guarantee, Sardi flew to Musso, and with how they could deceive the Doctors indettossi Villaterello. He then returned to Lecco and took him to the fake company some English and a brother of the governor. Under color of surprise Musso led them there. But as soon as set foot on the threshold that all were slain, except two, which it considered it wonderfully saved, you voted brothers. A brig, located a short distance, being so cooperative with Villaterello, who had heard the firing of the gun, evidence of successful business, he left to bring the notice to Lecco. The new governor, with the rest of his troops, and sailed at once to bring relief if MUST be, but come to Mandello knew the unfortunate case, and humiliated ritornossene in Lecco, where later, grieving over the death of his brother, ottenutene the body, the government gave up the fortress, no more and wanted to revisit these countries. The newcomer Villaterello
the first time calculated by the Medici, took him an opportunity to carry out his plan, for he had ordered that had just that past Varenna were closed with chains and the timber arm of the lake as to be able to force a battle, the which would easily put into the hands of Lecco. But wanting to take over all costs of this important and rich suburb, there is no long led after three hundred infantry and four guns, occupying the first in the bridge and the village. Brisighello Lucio, who had replaced the government with some bands Calabresi, who was imprisoned in the castle, he prepared to sustain the siege, hoping in rescue of Leyva, but also lacking in Annona, counsel for the mayor did escire sixty-one of the first the village, which, taken by a doctor, earned him a large sum if you wanted to dispense. There were, however, later
relief of Leyva, sending legions commanded by veteran Filippo Tornielli, by Lodovico Belgiojoso, Cesare Maggi dall'Ibarra and English. These, having overcome some Venetian troops led by captains and Cosco Farfarello who had come to the rescue of the Doctors said the hole to the place, moved to Lecco and forced our to retire (19 marzo1528).
What force of arms could not have, got the neck Doctors disbursement of a certain sum of money, confirming Leyva on behalf of the emperor's possessions he had, and giving him the title of Marquis of Musso and Count of Lecco, implored the first to the latter the supply of the reasons of Jerome Morone feud which had been in 1513 and 1515. Done well
Thurs Giacomo Medici follower of caesarean birth and vassal of the empire, Leyva was the order entered against the Venetians in the Bergamo valleys bordering the Valsassina, while the imperial army against the other band they marched. Meanwhile, the Doctors for that firm gathered people, sent out with some companies chosen his brother Battista, who crossed the Valsassina, entered Valtaleggio occupying all the lands up to Zogno. Captain Pellicione left there with a hundred old soldiers and some hinges to reduce to obedience the surrounding places, he, with the rest of the troops and the captain Porino, advanced along the valley Brembana. The Leyva meanwhile, accommodate matters with the Venetian Republic, was demoted to
Doctors without notice. Cease because the danger of war, the mountaineers of Taleggio and its surroundings, tumultuously assembled in large numbers, they ran over Zogno. The Pellicione, who had fortified the land with timber, not only stopped the momentum of those bands disorderly, but the rejected, chased and dispersed.
was intention of Giovanni Giacomo Medici, who was swelling with people, to give those valleys and run defiladed to surprise the castle of Bergamo, when heard about the following agreement, which he sent to his order to retire. Baptist then met his brother, and Porino Pellicione the same road of Valsassina returned home. CHAPTER VIII

declined in the following year 1529 the Emperor Charles V in Italy to gird the head of the Imperial crown, came to agreement with Pope Clement VII, which was agreed between the return of all the ancient duchy of Milan to Francesco Sforza. Seeing then the doctor stripped of his dominions, as belonging to the duke, and being vain practices can be obtained from Charles V to the confirmation of the investiture, which already Leyva in his name had been authorized, ordered by force to support his rule. But before groped the fate of the weapons, because already the ducal troops were advancing, sent Leone d'Introbbio Arrigoni, its agent, or ambassador, the Duke of Savoy and the Bishop of Vercelli, because placing their ufficj and obtained from the coveted Duke investiture. Sforza, averse to war, he accepted the party, and in a few days, consult the covenants, with which the Duke gave to Thurs Lecco Giacomo Medici, the Tri-Parishes, Valsassina and Adjacent and obbligavasi each year to provide some quantity of wheat and salt, and reputation medicensi soldiers like those of the Duke. On the other hand, the Doctors gave way to this Monguzzo and adjacent lands, and promised to pay him forty thousand crowns. But the captains of the Medeghino dissuade him from the condition of the payment of money. In order to deal more comfortably on the deal, the Baptist Medical and the bishop of Vercelli from Duke got a truce of six months (1529). The Marquis
meanwhile, like those he was most intensely in the business heart of the Valtellina, hired Giorgio Capucci, leader of a group of Albanians, and Cesare Maggi from Naples, captain of a squad of Calabresi, recruiting people and taxes from the shores of Lake Como, by Lecco and Valsassina. Coming Spring 1531 mosse l’armata, ed a viva forza occupò Delebio difeso dagli alabardieri Grigioni e dai terrazzani. Procedendo quindi alacremente, ottenne Morbegno, che chiuse con bastite e palizzate.
Contro di lui veniva rattamente Giovanni di Marmora, governatore della valle, con quattromila soldati. Non lungi da Berbenno scontrossi con uno squadrone di cavalleria del Medici, il quale, benché animosamente pugnasse, soperchiato dal numero, dovette indietreggiare.
Il vincitore corse allora con gran furia sopra Morbegno, credendo di prenderlo, e ne diede l’assalto. Ma il Medici, prese due compagnie di cavalli che erano accampate fuori del borgo, piombò inopinatamente sul fianco dei nemici, e tanto li tribolò che si diedero alla escape turning to the Adda. The marquis, quickly pursuing them, passed them before they arrived Adda, and posted two guns on the bridge prevented their passage. Thus, the Grisons tightened between the river and our own, that were esciti Morbegno from under the government of Gabrio, another brother of the Marquis, landlocked any escape, were killed or drowned nell'Adda. More than five hundred men lost in the Grisons this defeat, including Dietegano Willow, Martin Traverso and the governor to John Marmora. To win this amazing
very welcoming news to the Marquis wanted to give all the powers, which he believed could welcome back, and especially the Supreme Pontiff by his brother August residing in Rome, the emperor through protonotary Caracciolo, and the Venetian senate by Lion of Introbbio Arrigoni, its ambassador to the republic. But the duke, who unwillingly saw that victory, even though they died was not the end of the truce, he took the troops against the Medici, squeezed and worked Grisons alliance with the emperor to recall the Spaniards who fought in the pay of Doctors and prevented the passage PEL of four Swiss Tyrol granted to him by his brother Earl of Altemps. For the Marquis, much complaining of the betrayal of the effort, it made cognizance of the principles and wanting to perpetuate the memory did in his Musso Mint minted a coin with rupta motto fides.

For the Marquis, much complaining of the betrayal of the effort, it made cognizance of the principles and wanting to perpetuate the memory did in his Musso Mint minted a coin with rupta motto fides.
Already the Grisons were lowered into the Valtellina in number of fourteen between horses and foot soldiers with many pieces of artillery. Large portion of this phalanx marched against Morbegno and ordered the siege. Gabrio, who was in custody, he stayed a few days, but seeing that the enemies were becoming stronger and many resolved to escape. Closed the townspeople in the basement because they could not give any sign to our enemies, with the garrison at night so quietly exit the village, until the day he avvidero Graubünden. Then ran on the trail of the fugitives, but come to Colico saw that they were already sailing in the waters to Musso. A ship, however, in which forty Spaniards were led by Marco Grasso, while dirigevasi Olonio the tower that the garrison for reinforcements, so ammelmò in those swamps that gave the field of Graubünden go over them and force them to surrender. Fat, conducted in Sondrio, was hanged at the gallows. And since were seen
prosperous fortune prepared themselves to another company in the Grisons. Knowing how good of men and the doctor was pecunia Valsassina peoples of many lands and large affezzionatissima the Marquis, they decided to invade. Meanwhile, having been so cooperative, he sent the duke Giovanni Battista Spicy, Vistarino and Alessandro Ludovico Gonzaga, Marquis of Mantua, all'oppugnazione Monguzzo and Lecco. Since then, the going Morbegno Graubünden in the valley of Bitto in number of six thousand soldiers led by George Vestari with a few pieces of artillery, came down to that of Troggia to Introbbio.

Introbbio sits almost in the center of Valsassina, where, who wanted it to look like a bent arm, it would appear the elbow. Moderately spaced open before him a plain fields and meadows, and stands behind a mountain, former duchy of Milan with the Venetian Republic and with the Grisons, or with the province of Bergamo and Sondrio, border. The creek's Acquaduro lambe the south-east side, and more distant to the master bathes Troggia, tributarj both of them the largest river, the Pioverna, which libeccio talks. In the middle the village, and reinforced bulwark bulwarks, stood a square tower and capable, how long the ravages of time, however, is admired. Place of military and commercial importance in those days was Introbbio; conciossiaché, besides being the road to those who bring in the aforementioned states and adjacent to the place of difendevol Bridge Closed, you risiedevan judges of Justice of the valley, the College of notary and a variety of rich and noble families, and trade and industry flourished there. Troubled, however, often being plundered in ancient times by armies and incendj, modern and chest injuries and broken, could not venture to add to that prosperity, which even then seemed destined.
It was the tower guarded by the townspeople, who at the first warning that the army was at curing, eransi withdrawn in there with as much copy Camango and ammunition they could, their willingness to defend to the death. As the Grisons were entered in the land they call the tower. They said they gl'intrepidi Introbbiesi not want to lay down their arms before they were conquered Monguzzo, Musso and Lecco. Accampossi then the army around the country and gave the assault on the tower, targeting very proudly with the guns and musketry hill, hoping that they would not stand for the infinite number of their prevalence, but they were repulsed with much damage to them. The following day the assault rinnovaron and again they were repulsed. They stood so many days camped always trying to climb, but they saw that for the courage and obstinacy of the defenders had not given them to take it and that the army was always so decimating the balls that rained down on the assailants by unceasingly caditoje Crossbow and the fort, and the huge fragments of rocks from which eminence rotolavan upon those who saw the block, and left the company turned to Belle, making Vimogno Saccomanno, Primaluna, Cortabbio, Cortenuova and all other lands that PEL way they met.

stood on end and then to the Tri-Parishes, where dislodge the Medici, though strenuously defend himself, forcing him to take refuge in the castle of Musso. Besieged by the Nets and continuously beaten by the artillery, was the castle came to harsh conditions. But the doctor knew so well at night axles on several sides of the enemy, who chased and dispersed they returned in Valtellina (November 15, 1531). Meanwhile
Alessandro Gonzaga ducal troops took the hill and had brought Monguzzo all'espugnazione Lecco. He ordered a long trench between the village and the bridge to segregate each other garrison. The captain then sent Corsino from Sant'Angelo with two companies and some guns Malgrate because prevented any help from the lake. He finally took his castle overlooking the village and began to beat with three guns. Over time istesso Lodovico Vistarino glue class naval targeted the bridge so that the guards had to retreat to the back of it that the Rivellino. Gabrio, who was the government of the village, sent to the rescue of the bridge from Pedraccio grass with ten soldiers. This, passed to heat the entire enemy trenches, he entered the Rivellino, but given the impossibility of having to defend themselves, with those few animals which were there in Lecco returned. The others surrendered to Vistarino, who came to the bridge and Muni Mandello medicensi to prevent ships sailing in Lecco.
The Marquis, having persecuted the Grisons, quickly flew to the rescue of Lecco landing on the way different bodies Dervio, Bellano, Varenna and Mandelli, in which countries trovavansi guards defeated enemy. Increased
then the fleet of some ships captained by John Agliati Lecco, moved against the Vistarino. Unhappily, however riescigli this faction, which remained Gabrio died, his brother, brave young man, which resulted in Lecco, and obtained a truce for the funeral honors him, was buried in the church of S. Giacomo di Castello.
That accident left fearing the Marquis of continuing the war, which lacked pecuniary, tried to have ties with the King of France and obtain from him a few provide for. But his having Vane can practice, he beat a great abundance of coins in a tin and silver, to which he gave an exaggerated value and made her move with the promise to redeem them at the end of the war. So was the doctor from his beloved people, who not only accepted that metal, but wanted to keep it for its memory even when he, keeping his promise, he wanted to redeem it.

Ristaurato mood so went back in the water and forces the vessel, and passing Mandello without the Vistarino noticing, dropped to Lecco, where he attacked three hundred Calabresi led by Cesare Maggi.
Having thus heard the Gonzaga he was very careless in the castle, thought to attack the unthinkable. Chosen for this purpose ninety-two men put their arms above una camicia con una banda bianca e fascetti rossi e con altra banda rossa a differenza delle ducali che le portavan tutte rosse, e sopra la camicia una cappa nera. Avuta voce dal Caravacca, famoso nell’ufficio di spia, del luogo preciso e del motto della sentinella, lasciò Lecco in guardia al Pellicione ed a Gabrio Serbelloni, scese nella fossa per uscir dalla parte del lago, e camminando con silenzio sotto le trincere giunse rimpetto al ponte. Ivi a caso cadde a terra un tedesco di grave armatura, al cui rumore la sentinella gridò; ma quei che guardavan il ponte non sentendo altro fracasso, poiché i medicensi bocconi a terra si eran gittati, se ne tornarono al riposo. Arrivato così a Castello impose ai suoi che cavassero la cappa nera, ad except for two, with whom avviossi to the first guard. She gave her word and came and vibrolle a stab in the throat.
