Sono editi tre documenti provenienti dall'Archivio Borromeo sull'Isola Bella. Si tratta di due bolle inviate molto probabilmente a Federico Borromeo, divenuto poi cardinale e arcivescovo di Milano, da parte dei papi Paolo III Farnese e Sisto V. E' anche edita una sentenza di un canonico vercellese su questioni di decime a vantaggio del monastero femminile di Santa Maria di Settime dell'anno 1179, sottoscritta con firma autografa dal vescovo Guala Bondoni.

Abstract
The article intends to show how much it is possible to obtain from the Borromeo Archives of Isola Bella (ABIB), recently opened to the public of scholars, even with a short visit intended for research on the medieval Vercelli society. A series of parchments concerning possessions in Vercelli area of the Abbey of St. Stefano di Vercelli - of which Federico Borromeo, cardinal and archbishop of Milan, was abbot commendatory - emerged from the fonds “Corporazioni religiose”. Two papal bulls are published: one by Paolo III Farnese, dated 1547, to the abbot of St. Andrea to oblige the vassals of the Church to request reconfirmation of the feuds that Pietro Francesco Ferrero, bishop of Vercelli, had been claiming since years. The second bull, dated 1586, is by Sixtus V. It is very ruined and concerns the Milan cleric Federico Borromeo, to whom men who were not fearful of God had revoked the enjoyment of lands belonging to one of his abbeys, whose name remains unknown for a failure of the parchment. Finally, a sentence signed by the bishop of Vercelli Guala Bondoni, concerning the almost unknown nun’s monastery of Santa Maria di Settime, near Desana, is reported.
