The subject of this article are the interactions between political forces in Orvieto and in Bagnoregio, a small town under the authority of government of Orvieto, in 1303 and 1304.

Etienne Hubert, L’accertamento dell’età personale nell’Italia comunale
The paper tries to analyze methods for individual age certification in 13th-14th Italian city-states, where civil life depended on thresholds of age, which the principal one was of course the age of majority, such as everywhere at anytime. Legal sources as Artes notariae and jurists as Bartolo and Baldo confronted with judiciary documents and normative sources put evidence on two ways of certification, the aspectus corporis performed by the judge and the denumeratio annorum proved by oath and witnesses, which allowed the judge to pronounce its sentence, the instrumentum annorum.
Stefano Ferrari, Il viaggio italiano del duca Louis-Alexandre de La Rochefoucauld (1765-1766)
Accompanied by the secretary Jean-François Morellet (younger brother of the most famous André Morellet), by the scientist Nicolas Desmarest and the draftsman Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, between September 1765 and May 1766 Duke Louis-Alexandre de La Rochefoucauld accomplishes his unique journey to Italy. Although it cannot be assimilated to the classic Grand Tour, it pursues the main purpose of allowing all participants to have new experiences, both human and cultural, and to progress in their respective professional fields.
Lorenzo Ciccarelli, Scenografie pontificie. Il viaggio di Pio IX nelle Legazioni
In 1857 Pope Pius IX organized a long journey to the Legations. Conveyed as a pilgrimage to the Basilica della Santa Casa in Loreto, the journey was a broader and strategic operation in order to reinforce the presence of the Pope into the population and defend the Papal State from the Italian unification process. The essay analyses the historical and political background of the journey, deepening the artistic, architectonic and urban interventions displayed in some of the cities, as Senigallia and Orvieto, that the Pope visited.
Documenti
Sergio Tognetti – Veronica Vestri, Nuovi documenti su Dino Compagni
The essay focuses on the publication and historical contextualization of 35 notarial deeds drawn up for Dino Compagni, his family and his business company between October 1300 and September 1301. These documents produced by notary Jacopo di Guido di Dato da Campi allow us to better understand the economic and social profile of the famous Florentine chronicler, just in the twelve months preceding the violent seizure of power by the Black Guelphs with the consequent political ruin of Dante Alighieri and Dino Compagni himself.
