Scopo di questo libro è esplorare le trasformazioni nei funzionamenti del potere nelle campagne del regno d'Italia lungo il cinquantennio a cavallo del 1100, e più in particolare il processo di affermazione e di cristallizzazione della signoria rurale. L'indagine si sviluppa attraverso la ricostruzione non solo delle strutture del potere sugli uomini e sullo spazio, e delle connesse morfologie sociali, ma anche del sistema di comunicazione politica a livello locale. Lo scoppio delle guerre civili connesse con la "lotta per le Investiture", dopo il 1080, si traduce infatti in una netta riconfigurazione della matrice socio-politica, con trasformazione sia delle pratiche del potere locale, sia degli strumenti della comunicazione politica e della relativa documentazione. Il caso italiano offre in questo senso una nuova prospettiva sul grande problema storiografico, ancora aperto, della "rivoluzione feudale" nel contesto europeo.

"A book focusing on the transformations of power in the countryside of central and northern Italy around the year 1100 requires-perhaps more so than other books-an introduction accounting for the choice of chronological and geographical coordinates, as well as of research topics. None of these elements, in itself, is particularly original in medieval studies; what is far more original is their specific combination. I will therefore set out from the geographical and chronological framework, and move on to the more strictly thematic one, in such a way as to clarify the import of my endeavour. Finally, I will discuss the actual structure of the book"--

Rural lordship is one of the classic medieval themes of recent decades, but its specific developments of the late Middle Ages have long been neglected by research, especially engaged in considering other processes in these centuries, such as the construction of regional states, the economic dynamics, the urban riots. This volume, as part of a large research project coordinated by Sandro Carocci, intends to help fill this gap by offering a wide sample of cases, relating to very different areas of the Italian peninsula. Local realities are investigated here from a very specific perspective, that is, in their strictly political dimension: while taking into account the broad contexts (economic, settlement and social) in which the rural lordships are located, the main questions of this volume focus on forms of the lordly domain and its relations with the subjects, with the regional states and with the other lordly powers.

The four-volume sub-series ‘Petrifying Wealth’ explores the sudden ubiquity of masonry construction between 1050 and 1300 in Southern Europe and its profound effect on the European landscape. New questions about wealth, society, and medieval building are explored, which highlight the link between construction in durable materials and the shaping of individual, collective, and territorial identities: the birth of a new, long-lasting panorama, epitomising the way we see the space and territory of Europe nowadays.Volume 2 of the ‘Petrifying Wealth’ series focuses on economic growth in Southern Europe between 1050 and 1300, discussing investments on buildings connected with production and trade. It examines buildings that served a primarily economic purpose, in various aspects: agricultural activity and the conservation and processing of its products, crafts, and exchanges and their material infrastructures. The growth in this period resulted in a multiplication of material structures closely linked with economic activity, such as mills, barns, canals, workshops, and arsenals. Focusing on the dynamics connected with these buildings thus offers a vantage point to better understand the contexts and characteristics of the ‘economic take-off’ in Southern Europe in this period.
