Università Roma Tre

Medieval Rome (500-1500).
The course aims at providing students with an updated and exhaustive picture of the history of Rome during the Middle Ages, paying particular attention to social and economic aspects but without neglecting political, cultural and religious processes. Based on and interacting with the most updated historiography, the lessons will focus on the configuration and types of sources – written and material – available for this period, in order to analyze the following topics: economy and society between Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages; transformations of the Carolingian and Ottonian age; the so-called «Church Reform» and the relations between papacy, empire and Rome; the urban landscape, before and after the eleventh century; the emergence of the Commune; economy and society during the High and Late Middle Ages; Rome, the Angevin dinasty and the Avignon papacy; economy and society during the Renaissance.
