On the Fires of the City of Bozen
The second part of the historical treatise on the fires of Bozen describes the magistrate's 1598 statute mandating tile roofs. This regulation protected Bozen from major conflagrations for over 300 years. The article emphasizes that fireproof roofs are of vital importance for the safety and prosperity of any city.
