The Borromean Reform

encouragement_of_philosophers

Carlo Borromeo's administration of Milan became the most closely studied model of institutional reform of the age: rigorous reorganization of local hierarchies, standardized training for officials, and regular inspection visits that reached every village in our territory. We adopt his model wholesale, using every institution at our disposal to extend education and discipline throughout our realm. This reform builds a population that is both more literate and more tightly bound to the institutions of the realm, making civic order far easier to maintain.
