Past Events
On Tuesday 7 February Professor Mario Ascheri from the University of Rome III talked to the third meeting of Working Materials – Medievalists at Queen Mary on ‘The Making of a City-State: Siena in the Thirteenth Century’. Taking as his base Daniel Waley’s Siena and the Sienese in the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge, 1999), he demonstrated above all through the use of little known architectural and archaeological sources how our understanding of the rise of the state of Siena can be pushed back several decades into the very early thirteenth century. The rich methodological insights he offered were shared with an audience of about twenty scholars from QMUL and with colleagues from others parts of the University of London.
