16 magg 1116 anni - Birth of the Commune of Bologna

Descrizione:

Henry V issued a privilege that granted imperial protection to the citizens of Bologna and the right to pursue their own customs.

Those consuetudines were of a commercial character and did not comprise public rights, nor did the privilege use the term “comune,” but the grantees were described as “concives,” (fellow countrymen of a particular place) thereby recognizing an organizedtotality of citizens; holder, as the privilege attested, to a treasury and a common patrimony.
