Corpi Santi di Milano : ウィキペディア英語版 | Corpi Santi di Milano Corpi Santi di Milano ("Holy Bodies of Milan") is a former Italian ''comune'', established in 1782 and annexed to Milan in 1873. It comprised the rural territory around the city walls of Milan. It was originally known just as Corpi Santi; "di Milano" was added in 1859, possibly to avoid confusion with the comune with the same name located in the area of Pavia. ==The name==
Scholars have proposed a few different explanation of the toponymy "Corpi Santi", which literally means "Holy Bodies". One explanation is linked to a medieval legend, whereby the corpses of the Magi were sent to Milan in 1034. When the wagon carrying them reached the city walls, it miraculously stuck, and any further attempt to bring the bodies into the city failed. The bishop of Milan thus commanded that the bodies be buried outside of the walls, in the exact place where the wagon had stopped; the Basilica of Sant'Eustorgio was built in that place to guard the relics, and the place would thereafter be known as "the place of the Holy Bodies". A more mundane explanation for the toponymy is that, during Austrian rule, sanitary laws were enforced whereby the Milanese would have to bury their dead outside the city walls. As a consequence, most cemeteries of the time would be built in the surrounding area (i.e., the Corpi Santi).〔L. Ripamonti, ''La storia di Affori'', Milan 1995〕
