| Abstract | In the last decades, much work have been done to deconstruct the mechanisms of government in Early Medieval Europe. In that task, the interpretation of the settlement of disputes as the basis of the central government strategies in local spheres has been underlined by recent historiography. Following this methodology, the aim of this session is, thus, to analyze a century characterized by political fluidity in Italy, focusing in the role played by aristocracies and local communities in the construction of political systems in a time of crisis and renewals of the imperial identity in the 'Regnum Italiae'. |
