Storia delle repubbliche italiane dei secoli di mezzo, v. 07 (of 16) by Sismondi

"Storia delle repubbliche italiane dei secoli di mezzo, v. 07 (of 16)" by J. C. L. Simon de Sismondi is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book focuses on the political and social history of Italian republics during the Middle Ages, delving into their governance, conflicts, and interactions with notable figures such as popes and emperors. The opening portion details the period when the papacy was based in Avignon, particularly focusing on Pope Urban V's determination to return the Holy See to Rome and the intricate dynamics that ensued with various Italian city-states. It elaborates on the impact of the papacy's relocation on ecclesiastical morals, governance, and regional politics, highlighting the rise and fall of various factions, such as the Visconti in Milan and the influence of the Emperor Charles IV. Throughout this portion, Sismondi sets the stage for the ensuing conflicts and alliances among cities and leaders, illustrating the complex tapestry of political maneuvers that characterized this epoch in Italian history.
