This book addresses a gap in Italian historiography by examining
rural rather than city communes. In recent years, historians have
increasingly focused on local and regional studies of village
communities as a way of understanding medieval European history.
This discussion of a group of villages around Lucca is the first
detailed study of the origin of organized village communities in
Italy for over seventy years, showing how the social and political
structures of the countryside ran alongside those of the city.
Chris Wickham analyses how local politics took recognizable shape
as its ruling structures gradually emerged over time. His argument
does not end there, and indeed extends beyond Italy, to France and
Spain, providing sustained comparisons of rural development and
social organization. The result is a rare combination of systematic
local analysis and wide synthesis, aimed at illuminating the whole
area of social transformation in twelfth-century Europe.
