History
Italian term or phrase: attribuisse alla favolosa regina ogni edificio...
Story of Queen Teolinda

Un tempo non c’era anziano di Lemine (così veniva chiamato il luogo prima della divisione tra i due paesi: Almenno San Bartolomeo e Almenno San Salvatore); non c’era anziano, dicevamo, che non attribuisse alla favolosa regina ogni edificio antico e un po’ fuori della norma presente su questo territorio all’inizio delle valli Brembana e Imagna e attraversato dal fiume Brembo.

I'm not sure what they mean by attribuisse here. Thanks!
