Abstract
During the years 888-962, a period in which the Kingdom of Italy was not ruled by kings from across the Alps, urban sites begun to get in a new administrative role. These years were for a long time accepted as a period of major political breakdown and failure, and, in north-central Italy, the start of the long run in to the early city communes and Italy’s future history as a radically disunited peninsula. In the light of not only recent historical reanalyzes but also the emergence of a large quantity of archaeological data, this image can be tested in this paper from material evidences: Ravenna, Pavia, Mantua Milan and Genoa, Piacenza and many others Roman town before the rise of Venice and the new Italian medieval civilizationI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
