Historians have long understood the period 1100 to 1500 to be the key phase in the genesis of the modern state. In this innovative work, Andrea Gamberini examines the case of late medieval Lombardy to show that the advent of the state did not extinguish the traditional values and principles of political cohabitation that had long been in place.

Andrea Gamberini studied at the University of Milan, where he currently teaches as Professor of Medieval History. His research interests focus on Late Medieval Italy and follow four main strands: political history (with special attention to the state-building process), ecclesiastical history (mainly the episcopate), political languages between the 11th and 15th centuries, and social mobility in the Later Middle Ages. During his career, Andrea has received several accolades and grants. He was the Fowler Hamilton Visiting Research Fellow at Christ Church, Oxford, in 2012-2013; a Visiting Professor at Kyoto University in 2010; a nominated fellow at IASH, University of Edinburgh in 2016; and a Visiting Fellow at Clare Hall, Cambridge, in 2012, after which he was elected Life Member.
