Formally, in 476 A.D. the Western Roman Empire came to its epilogue, but the event did not really have such resonance at the time: to put it with Momigliano, it was «the fall without noise of an empire».

The present-day South Tyrol, during the historical period following the conquest of Charlemagne, became increasingly disputed and a borderland, having been successively occupied by the Goths, Byzantines, Lombards, Bavarians, Avars, and Franks.

The author, based on historical sources and archaeological finds, reconstructs the evolution of Christianity in the area during more than three centuries of confrontation.
