A Broken Kinship. The Fogliano of Reggio Emilia
Full text linkThe family of the Fogliano of Reggio Emilia is an interesting case study in the context of research relating to seigneurial kinship groups and their mechanisms. The lineage ruled over what was most likely the largest lordship in the region, and its members played a leading role in events on the chessboards of both the city of Reggio Emilia and the surrounding countryside. However, such a powerful family was not as united as one might expect, and the divisions that pitted individual domini or entire branches of the lineage against each other occasionally reached levels of extreme violence. Nevertheless, these deep fractures did not affect kinship development, which only started to wane during the 1420s, when the Este gained an increasingly strong grasp on the region. The issue of divisions among the lords has not yet seen a specific thematization: with this paper is therefore proposed to frame, on the one hand, the reasons that led to the development and the definition of the fractures between the Fogliano; on the other hand, it is necessary to outline the reasons that allowed the family to thrive from the end of the 13th century to the beginning of the 15th century, with the aim of better understanding the segmentation mechanisms and the regulatory systems within a noble kin group

Figli devoti e amici fedeli. Il ruolo delle accomandigie nelle relazioni interstatali fiorentine (metà XIV-inizio XV secolo)
No full textThe paper aims to investigate the role played by the treaties of accomandigia in the Florentine international relationships between the mid-fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. Through the accomandigie, the Republic tied itself to different political realities, from rural lordships to other states. Florence oriented the creation of such ties towards different territorial areas and made different uses of them, depending on the context. The accomandigia was therefore a tool with which to enhance its presence within a certain territory (such as in Romagna) or with which to respond strategically to the movements of its opponents (as in Lunigiana and in the Sienese countryside). Finally, in the case of the relationships with Montefeltro and Piombino, the accomandigia may be seen not as a support mechanism, but as the true substance of the interstate relations
Capitani coraggiosi. I Fogliano di Reggio Emilia, cittadini e nobili veneziani
No full textThe paper aims to highlight an event linked as much to the history of Venice as to the one of the Emilia-Romagna, and not yet fully recorded by contemporary historiography: the privilege of citizenship and nobility granted in favour of the Fogliano of Reggio Emilia. Moving from a 1431 document of great importance, with which the doge Francesco Foscari confirmed to Tommaso da Fogliano the same privilege, granted in 1339 by Bartolomeo Gradenigo in favour of Guidoriccio da Fogliano, it is intended to understand why a mercenary captain had interest in binding himself to Venice, and on the contrary what interests the city could have in coordinating such a person to itself. The comparison with other information contained in the registers of the Grazie allows us to broaden the perspective, as Giberto, brother of Guidoriccio, had also obtained this privilege, coming to reflect on the issues of granted citizenship and the ambitions of two illustrious representatives of a noble kinship of Reggio Emilia and, in perspective, on the motivations that moved Tommaso almost a century later
