In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, while the ambitious reorganization of the urban fabric sponsored by princes and ruling elites transformed most Italian cities, Spanish Milan did not undergo any substantial renovations. In order to preserve peace and stability in an essential strategic region of the empire, Madrid abdicated a high degree of local power to the patriciate and the church and refrained from displaying its might within the urban fabric through new majestic buildings or permanent depictions of the king.
