A. Zorzi, Le signorie cittadine in Italia (XIII-XV secolo), Bruno Mondadori
Signorie cittadine nell'Italia comunale, a cura di J. C. Maire Vigueur, Viella Roma 2013 ( Parte prima Capitoli I, II, IV), Parte seconda e terza (tre saggi a scelta)
Programme
The course deals with the changes of communal Italy between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. In this period several Italian cities experimented new authoritarian regimes, by distancing themselves from the communal system and embracing a new political one: the signoria. The experiences of the cities in central and northern Italy, the profile of the rulers, and the forms of adaptation of the communal apparatus to the new political systems present not so much an opposition between communes and signorie – according to old theses – as a plurality of forms giving back to Italy the image of a fervid political laboratory.Core Documentation
