1378 to 1382 CIOMPI REVOLT in Florence (1 ottob 1382 anni – 1 agos 1404 anni)

Descrizione:

The Ciompi Revolt was a rebellion among unrepresented labourers which occurred in Florence, Italy, from 1378 to 1382.

Those who revolted consisted of artisans, labourers, and craftsmen who did not belong to any guilds and were therefore unable to participate in the Florentine government.

These labourers had grown increasingly resentful over the established patrician oligarchy. In addition, they were expected to pay heavy taxes which they could not afford, forcing some to abandon their homes.

The resulting insurrection over such tensions led to the creation of a government composed of wool workers and other disenfranchised workers which lasted for three and a half years.

Although the CIOMPI Revolt was brief, it left an impact on future generations. The three and a half year revolt not only affected Florentine society throughout the 15th century, but was a flashpoint in Florentine history, which continued to intrigue historians. Interpretations of the events evolved across the centuries
