Abstract

The relationship between Florence and Pistoia at the end of the Thirteenth century was a deep and complex one, and it had a direct impact on the life and the works of Dante. The paper aims at analysing from a Pistoian perspective the social, familiar, economic and institutional connections between the two cities in the years of Dante’s political engagement. The analysis stress the mutual influences and the impact that they had on the events of both cities beyond the wellknown
transmission of the factional conflict between the whites and the blacks from Pistoia to Florence.
