E 'innegabile che oggi i "cammini" stiano vivendo una stagione particolarmente feconda: questo anno, per esempio, gli arrivi al Santuario di Compostela, dopo aver fatto il cammino sono stati trecentomila, decisamente un numero ragguardevole. Il libro che state per leggere affronta un tema molto approfondito negli ultimi anni: quello delle vie del pellegrinaggio. In particolare qui trattiamo della via Francigena in uno dei suoi tratti, quello toscano, cercando però di darne una lettura diversa. Come potrete notare abbiamo dato importanza alla presentazione di tematiche di generale interesse storico e inerenti la cultura del Medioevo in seguito alla considerazione di una necessità di inquadramento storico, geografico e culturale delle problematiche relative alla Via Francigena. Malgrado l'argomento del libro restringa il quadro geografico alla Toscana è parso opportuno inserire le argomentazioni specifiche all'interno di un quadro italiano e perfino europeo, anche per far presente l'importanza extra-regionale ed internazionale delle vie di pellegrinaggio medievali quali la Francigena. La diffusione del fenomeno del pellegrinaggio coincise con i profondi mutamenti della società medievale e con l'inizio di un periodo di relativa pace in tutta Europa. Dopo l'anno Mille si verificò una forte rinascita spirituale che spinse migliaia di pellegrini verso le grandi mete della Cristianità medievale: Roma, la Terrasanta e Santiago di Compostella. Il pellegrinaggio con le dure prove fisiche che implicava serviva al credente a raggiungere una conoscenza più personale e diretta della propria fede. I pellegrini, inoltre, erano considerati per l'esperienza che andavano a compiere e per aver rinunciato al mondo, almeno temporaneamente, una sorta di casta, quasi un ordine religioso con una propria missione spirituale. Roma era la meta più ambita delle "peregrinazioni maggiori" perché lì si trovava il capo della Cristianità, il successore dell'apostolo Pietro, a cui spettava l'assoluzione di tutti i peccati maggiori, ed era anche una città ricca di memorie e reliquie di martiri. La via di "Monte Bardone", detta poi "Francigena", fu per secoli il percorso viario privilegiato per i collegamenti fra Roma e le regioni oltrappenniniche. Particolare rilievo in questo libro ha la parte bibliografica, raccolta in questi anni, che rappresenta un corpus di ricerca vasto ed utile per chiunque voglia intraprendere studi ed approfondimenti futuri. A questo libro ne seguirà, in futuro, un altro dedicato alla schedatura di tutte le emergenze architettoniche lungo il percorso della Via Francigena, che permetterà al viaggiatore come allo studioso un approfondimento di ricerca scientifica e divulgazione culturale.

Lucca occupies a special place in the history and historiography of the early Middle Ages in Italy and Europe. It was the heart of a political body of the Carolingian galaxy, namely the marque of Tuscia, which enjoyed exceptional success and remained vital throughout most of the 11th century. It is also one of the areas most accounted for in sources: the documentation on the Lucca area starting from the beginning of the 8th century is extraordinarily conspicuous and continuous. Hence the choice of this case study, to reflect again on overall historical transformations. This book starts from a systematic research on the documentary sources of Lucca, so wide that they are still largely unexplored, and aims at reconstructing the fundamental parameters that governed the functioning of a court society, and at following its transformation processes up to the noble and chivalric age. At the centre of the investigation lies the social segment which gradually assumed aristocratic features and a more defined profile of distinction, and promoted the foundation of castles in the countryside as well as the formation of territorial areas on which to exercise powers of command and coercion.

Emilio Sereni's classic work is now available in an English language edition. History of the Italian Agricultural Landscape is a synthesis of the agricultural history of Italy in its economic, social, and ecological context, from antiquity to the mid-twentieth century. From his perspective in the Italian tradition of cultural Marxism, Sereni guides the reader through the millennial changes that have affected the agriculture and ecology of the regions of Italy, as well as through the successes and failures of farmers and technicians in antiquity, the middle ages, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution. In this sweeping historical survey, he describes attempts by successive generations to adapt Italy's natural environment for the purposes of agriculture and to respond to its changing ecological problems. History of the Italian Agricultural Landscape first appeared in 1961. At the time of its publication it was a pathbreaking work, parallel in its importance for Italy to Marc Bloc's masterwork of 1931, The Original Characteristics of French Rural History. Sereni invented the concept of the historical "agricultural landscape": an interdisciplinary characterization of rural life involving economic and social history, linguistics, archeology, art history, and ecological studies. Originally published in 1997. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

The Republic of St. Peter seeks to reclaim for central Italy an important part of its own history. Noble's thesis is at once original and controversial: that the Republic, an independent political entity, was in existence by the 730s and was not a creation of the Franks in the 750s. Noble examines the political, economic, and religious problems that impelled the central Italians—and a succession of resolute popes—to seek emancipation from the Byzantine Empire. He delineates the social structures and historical traditions that produced a distinctive political society, describes the complete governmental apparatus of the Republic, and provides a comprehensive assessment of the Franco-papal alliance.

In 60 B.C., ten-year-old Guiamo Durmius Stolo, an exceptionally gifted Roman orphan, is abandoned in Gaul . Left to fend for himself, Guiamo is set onto a path of legend. Recognized by the gods as having world-changing talents, he is given a weapon that changes his destiny and the world's forever. Combining legitimate legends with actual historical events, Marshall Best weaves an epic story that portrays the ancient world as it might have been, a world which the ancient historians recorded as fact; a time when gods ruled the earth and strange creatures dominated the land. It is the era of civilized conquerors exploring distant and primitive new lands. Scant recordings left to us today only touch on the fringe of the fantastic and brutal reality that existed in those distant lands of the west. Into this age, young Guiamo enters the world stage as the great game-changer, and by his hand the gods and beasts become destined to disappear into myth and legend.

This work is the winner of the American Historical Association Marraro Prize, 1988. "The Mountains and the City" is a rare discussion in English of the history of a region of Europe, a genre common in other countries but undeveloped in Britain. The book deals with two mountain valleys in Tuscany from the eight to the twelfth century, with some examination of their future progress into the sixteenth. It charts their internal social and economic development and their links with the emerging world of the Italian city states. The importance of the book is in its stress on the small-scale society of the mountains; on the relation of local society to its geographical environment; and, above all, in its concern to see society from below, through the activities of local people, rather than through the interests of their masters. In its focus on local interaction, this is one of the few anthropological studies of medieval history that has yet been written
