The complex case of Tuscan Urban Identities

Article Title:The complex case of Tuscan Urban Identities

Abstract:
This article provides a critical evaluation of the project 'Tuscan Urban Identities' organized and coordinated by Stuart Woolf and Lucia Carle and financed in cooperation the European University Institute in Florence and the Tuscan regional government. The multi-volume series contributes a detailed study of six small towns in the Tuscan regional state between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Using a methodology that relies on data derived primarily from parish records, censuses and local statutes, the six authors write the histories of Fiesole, Poppi, Montalcino, Buggiano, Pontremoli and Suvereto, showing the long-term demographic trends, office-holding patterns and the economic organizations of these towns.
