This study of birth-rates, death-rates and demography in Medieval
Italy challenges many traditional assumptions based on documentary
evidence. Giovannini looks instead at archaeological evidence from
the 6th to 14th century and reaches a number of interesting
conclusions - the death-rate for 0-5 year olds is not as high as
previously thought; a small percentage of the population lived
beyond the age of 50. Like many other parts of Europe, factors such
as famine and disease do not seem to have been prevalent until the
later medieval period. Text in Italian with English and French
abstracts.
