Venice and Its Neighbors from the 8th to 11th Century
Venice and Its Neighbors from the 8th to 11th Century offers an account of the formation and character of early Venice, drawing on archaeological evidence from Venice and related sites, and written sources. The volume covers topics including: Venice’s role within the Byzantine exarchate of Ravenna during the 7th century; its independence in the mid-8th century; and its position as a dominant European and Mediterranean power.

Il sito della Piana di San Martino a Pianello Val Tidone. Dal castrum tardoantico all’abbandono nel XVIII secolo. Scavi e ricerche 2018-2021
Il volume, a due anni dalla chiusura dell’ultima campagna di scavo del 2021, presenta per la prima volta una lettura coordinata dei dati vecchi e nuovi emersi dalle ricerche, con metodo interdisciplinare, che associa alla presentazione dei dati di scavo, approfondimenti storici e scientifici.

Da castrum tardoantico e ostrogoto, con significativi confronti con i castra d’al...
