Campanine: Rock 19 |
With the agony and fall of the Roman Empire started a long and dark
period of civil decadence. A decadence characterized by the crack of
pagi (villages) and massae(farmhouses) net and by the
return of a crude economy, with absolutely predominance of breeding.
At first the Got in the latest V Century, then the Longobard from the
VI to the VII Century, at last the Frank with Charlemagne, mark deeply
the area with their regressive conception of power, reducing the
farmers in a slave role.

The condition bettered slowly after the
infeudation of the Camonica Valley to the Tour Monastery that
persisted till the XI Century, evangelising the area.
The social substratum was still diffusely pagan, a popular paganism
with a Raethian-Celtic base that the classical imperial religiousness
couldn't modify.
