This volume refers to the "age of consolidation" of Venice in the 9th and 10th centuries. All the twelve papers of the volume consider a Venetian reality as already formed, even in its early days; a social, economic and political community which, at this moment in time, reinforces its urban aspect, and creates the basis for the growth that will characterize its history after the tenth century.
Stefano Gasparri is a Full Professor of Medieval History at the University of Ca’ Foscari. He has published monographs and many articles on Italian history of the Early Middle Ages. He is co-founder of the website “Reti Medievali. Iniziative on line per gli studi medievistici,” director of the Centro interuniversitario per la storia e l'archeologia dell'alto medio (SAAME), and president of SISMED (Società degli storici medievisti italiani).
Sauro Gelichi is a Full Professor of Medieval Archaeology at the University of Ca’ Foscari. He has been director of many archaeological researches both in Italy and outside (Tunisia, Syria, Turkey, Montenegro) and has published monographs and many articles on archaeological and historical subjects. He is the main editor of the Journal Archeologia Medievale.
This volume brings together the Proceedings of the seminar held on 29 and 30 October 2015 at the Department of Humanities of Ca 'Foscari University of Venice. The title of the book, which is the same as the seminar, refers to the "age of consolidation" of Venice, that had been identified by the promoters of the initiative as the 9th and 10th centuries. All the papers in the volume, therefore, consider a Venetian reality as already formed, even in its early days; a reality, or rather a social, economic and political community which, at this moment in time, reinforces its urban aspect, and creates the basis for the growth that will characterize its history after the tenth century.
The book collects twelve papers of archaeological, historical, epigraphic and historical-artistic subject.
