"Storia della città di Roma nel medio evo, vol. 1/8 : dal secolo V al XVI." by Ferdinando Gregorovius is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. It examines the civic life and transformation of Rome from late antiquity into the Renaissance era, focusing on the interplay of ancient municipal traditions, imperial claims, and papal supremacy. Drawing on original documents, monuments, and topography, it offers a comprehensive portrait of Rome’s politics, society, religion, and urban fabric across the medieval centuries. The opening of the work introduces the editor’s note on the first Italian translation, acknowledging the author’s corrections and the care taken in printing, followed by the author’s preface outlining the aim: to fill the gap in Rome’s medieval civic history. Gregorovius stakes out his central thesis of three enduring “rights” shaping Rome—republican municipalism, imperial monarchy, and papal dominion—sets the scope from the Visigothic sack to the Sack under Clement VII, and explains his method of uniting archival research with the study of ruins and monuments, while noting the deep German–Italian historical ties. He then frames Rome’s uniqueness by contrasting it with Jerusalem and Athenian civilization, tracing the passage from imperial centralization to the Church’s universal authority and the medieval reverence for Rome as spiritual, political, and cultural center. Finally, he begins a topographical survey of late imperial Rome—its walls, gates, roads, aqueducts, and especially the fourteen regions—moving region by region from the Porta Capena through the Caelian and Colosseum districts, along the Via Sacra and imperial fora, across the Esquiline and Quirinal with the great baths, and into the Forum Romanum and Capitoline, which he presents as the stage for the story to follow.
