| Description: | Select Guide Rating A highly illustrated account of one of the major battles of Italy''s 13th century wars between the Guelphs and Ghibellines, immortalized in the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, who was one of the combattants. Campaldino is one of the important battles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines--the major political factions in the city states of central and northern Italy. It heralded the rise of Florence to a dominant position over the area of Tuscany and was one of the last occassions when the Italian city militias contested a battle, with the 14th century seeing the rise of the condottiere in Italy''s Wars. |
