Opis

Now in its 5th edition, The Italian City Republics illustrates how, from the 11th century, many Italian towns achieved independence as political entities. Until the 14th century, when the regimes of individual ‘tyrants’ took over in most towns, these communes were the scene of a precocious experiment in republican self-government.
