Barons and Castellans
The military nobility – "signori di castelli", lords of castles – formed an important component of the society of Renaissance Italy, although they have often been disregarded by historians, or treated as an anomaly. In Barons and Castellans: The Military Nobility of Renaissance Italy, Christine Shaw provides the first comparative study of “lords of castles”, great and small, throughout Italy, examining their military and political significance, and how their roles changed during the Italian Wars. Her main focus is on their military resources and how they deployed them in public and private wars, in pursuit of their own interests and in the service of others, and on how their military weight affected their political standing and influence.
Southern Italy in the Late Middle Ages
The first full-length study of mainland southern Italy's domestic market in the late Middle Ages, this book discusses the interaction between population, the market, and the region's institutional framework, in the context of the impact of the late medieval 'crisis' on the European economy. Based on new or little-used documentary evidence, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach and combines economic history with elements of economic theory to reassess common knowledge on demographic and urbanization trends, the organization of the domestic market, the role of the state, and on actual patterns of agricultural production, industrial activity and commercial itineraries. The result is a fresh look at the late medieval economy of the kingdom of Naples, which, it seems now, is worth studying for its own merit.

A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy (1350–1600)
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...
La signoria rurale nell’Italia del tardo medioevo
Studiare gli archivi dei signori rurali del Mezzogiorno d’Italia tra XIV e XV secolo significa cogliere la natura del loro potere, il modo in cui esso si diceva. Il volume, che accoglie le sollecitazioni della storiografia più recente, è fondato sulla repertoriazione di importanti complessi documentari dell’Archivio di Stato di Napoli, fondo Sommaria (Relevi, con i dossier per la successione feudale; Dipendenze, I, Conti erariali dei feudi e Diversi, con registri signorili pervenuti al Fisco per confisca o morte senza eredi). Sono inoltre oggetto di studio i cartulari e le platee calabresi, tipici «libri-archivio» che inglobano repertori più antichi (famiglie Ruffo e Sanseverino), e le pergamene degli Albertini di Nola. La ricchezza informativa dei fondi archivistici e dei registri presi in considerazione consente agli autori di concentrarsi sulla sostanza dei poteri signorili, la tipologia delle scritture prodotte dai signori e per i signori, la loro gestione del patrimonio, le strategie di costruzione della memoria. Saggi di R. Berardi, P. d’Arcangelo, V. Rivera Magos, S. Pollastri, L. Petracca, L. Tufano.
