After this first stage, in the following lectures the role of rural and urban communities in Lombard and Carolingian Italy will be analysed. A special attention will be devoted to central-northern Italy, thanks to dossiers of sources that will be analysed and discussed during lectures and that will be also available in PDF format. The third part of the course will be devoted to the cultural aspects and to the role played by some communities in this respect. Students will be asked to study and analyse original documents and further information will be given them in order to better understand their importance and their meaning. During the last teaching week before Christmas excursions will take place. One trip will take place in Verona, where some monuments and the Capitular Library will be visited.

The practical aspects regarding the excursions will be discussed with students attending the first lecture: interested students are kindly asked to write an e-mail to the lecturer.
The course will be organized as a seminar and will be based on the frontal lecture, class comments, laboratories and on the interpretation of recent historiographical works and of edited sources.

Students Finally, students could write short papers autonomously or in small groups on topics related to the excursions; the results can be presented during the different trips, according to the subject.

READINGS FOR STUDENTS NOT ATTENDING LECTURES
Students are asked to choose THREE books among the list.
DOSSIER OF SOURCES: only for students attending lectures. They will distributed by the lecturer as copies or per e-mail and also on the Moodle.
READING OF ESSAIS OR ANALYSIS OF A CORPUS OF SOURCE FOR THE WRITING OF A PAPER: students are encouraged writing an essay individually or in small groups in order to further deepen topics discussed during lectures. The writing of an assay substitutes one of the mandatory readings of essays. Further bibliographical information will be given during the first lectures; students not attending lectures can receive information during the office hours or per e-mail.
EVALUATION METHODS AND CRITERIA
The target of the final oral exam is to verify the achievement level of the final aim of this course. The oral exam will be divided into two parts: in the first part students will be asked to answer to general questions on the main topics of the Middle Ages, on the topics discussed during lectures or on topics acquired through books that might substitute the missed lectures. If the first part will be successfully concluded, in the second part questions will be asked on the books chosen by students; alternatively, students will present and discuss a paper (max. 10 pages = 20.000 signs) on a topic that will be decided in advance together with the lecturer. The paper must be sent to the lecturer at least three working days before the exam. Depending on the quality and the length of the paper, it will partially or totally substitute one of the individually chosen books. The final evaluation of the course in Medieval History won’t be registered until both results of the integrated course, formed by the average marks of the two parts. The final mark can be registered only by Prof Maria Clara Rossi once the 12 cfu will be acquired and the recording booked by Prof Rossi’s course.
Further information
The attendance of lectures is welcomed. Students not attending lectures will be asked to write an e-mail or to meet the lecturer before exams in order to avoid misunderstandings and/or to choose the topic of their paper.
