The paper aims to take a first look at the rich material contained in the Archivio Verri, especially at cart. 323 and 324, called “Consulte” of Gabriele Verri. The consultation of the father of the Verri brothers on the subject of torture is widely known, but not so he consultations drawn up on the most diverse topics in the middle of the 18th century, which offer a key to understanding many of the most burning issues of the day at that time in history. There are opinions on succession issues concerning illustrious families of the Duchy, to give just one example among many, or on the advisability of collecting in a single edition the innumerable gride for a certain period of time with the aim of “consolidating” and ensuring legal certainty, a proposal that came from Giuliani. There are not only “consulte” drafted by Gabriele, but he is joined in the subscription by other names of subjects operating in the Duchy and concerned with public affairs.
