• Extra informatie: - This study examines the legal and institutional development of the city of Bergamo from the pre-communal period to the establishment of the signoria. Drawing on an extensive range of documentary sources, the book traces how civic institutions and legal frameworks evolved from the 12th century through to the early 14th century. It explores both the formal statutes and the underlying social and political dynamics that shaped governance in Bergamo. Starting with an overview of sources and methodological approaches, a critical discussion of the characteristics and evolution of the commune in relation to pre-existing traditions follows. It then examines the pre-communal foundations of civic organization, including Lombard influences, the role of the vicinia (neighborhood assemblies), and the early structures of city and suburban relations. A key focus is the 1331 statute, that codified a broad set of civil, criminal, and administrative norms, refining earlier communal laws such as the Statutum Vetus. The statute institutionalized a form of rule that, while preserving some communal structures (like councils and magistracies), placed real power in the hands of a signore, or lord - likely under the influence of the Visconti of Milan, who would come to dominate Bergamo later in the 14th century. Further chapters delve into the development of the city’s political institutions, such as the rise of sworn communal associations, the formulation of the Statutum Vetus, and the emergence of the podestà system. The book also explores the transformation of the criminal justice system up to 1230, highlighting reforms in laws relating to offenses like injuria. A significant portion is devoted to the commune’s assertion of authority over rural territories, including military fortifications and statutory legislation aimed at controlling the countryside.
