Francesco Bettarini, Forestieri a Firenze: il caso della manodopera orvietana alla fine del Trecento
At the end of the fourteenth century, Florence attracted a hundred low-cost workers from Orvieto and other cities in Umbria with the aim of strengthening the workforce of the town. The migration of these workers takes place when Florence assumes political control of the major institutional posts of Orvieto, exercising a sort of crypto-lordship, readable through the diplomatic correspondence between the two cities. An ephemeral experience, characterized by the poor integration of migrants and destined to be exhausted in a few years.
Inazio Conde Mendoza, García Alfonso de Alcaudete, cónsul de castellanos en Barcelona y sus sucesores (1395-1456)
The second of the known Castilian consuls in Barcelona during the Late Middle Ages, García Alfonso de Alcaudete, held his office for more than four decades. His pivotal role not only in the city but throughout the Principality of Catalonia, helped strengthen this institution during the first half of the 15th century. After his death, several consuls succeeded him for short periods of time, proving the continuity of this figure and indicating the vitality of the community, where the Cantabrian Sea skippers and the Sevillian merchants stood out.
Pierre-Bénigne Dufouleur, La fabrique de la parenté à la fin du Moyen Âge: la construction d’une famille par Francesco Della Rovere – Sixte IV (1414-1484)
The kinship claimed by Francesco Della Rovere (1414-1484), who became pope under the name of Sixtus IV in 1471, does not seem to be based on biological criteria alone. On the contrary, it appears to be the fruit of a deliberate construction by the prelate, who assembles his family tree, branch by branch. This case study sheds light on the conception of kinship among the elites of the late Middle Ages.
