• Resumen

  • Anselmo da Baggio became bishop of Lucca in 1057 and remained bishop even after he was elected Pope, taking the title Alexander II (1061–73). The Tuscan city thus experienced a condition normally unique to Rome during his pontificate. Written sources celebrate Anselmo da Baggio as the patron of the Romanesque Cathedral and speak of his intention to extend the Gregorian reform across the city. Anselmo/Alexander II also effected important changes in Lucca’s liturgy. The liturgy is revealed to have been the principal vehicle whereby the role of the church of San Martino was enhanced, emerging as a single, integrated and reformed cathedral church.
