Can we therefore de- age1. For the Middle Ages it is not really like that.

In the case of Rome, the dualism between the city and the Curia, one of the great themes of the city’s history, leaves room for opposing interpretations. Also with regard to the university, the debate is always open. In the monumental work of Brigide Schwarz (2013) the city plays almost no role in the history of the university 1 I would like to express here warm thanks to Professor Hermenegildo Fernandes and to the VIII Héloïse workshop that they organized precisely in Lisbon on 22-23 October 2018.

On the contrary, in the recent work by Dario Internul- loa filiation on the culturalof the life in Rome in the fourteenth century, the Studium Urbis, clearly distinct from the Studium Curiae, is presented in all respects as a city university, or rather as the university of the Commune Romanum (we can say that such a municipal government was present in Roome from the end of the 12th century until at least 1378)4 - .

    From the Restoration to the Pisanelli Code (1815-1865): A Cultural and Historical Assessment of the Legal Status of Women in the North of the Italian Peninsula Sara Delmedico Clare College March 2018 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy From the Restoration to the Pisanelli Code (1815-1865): A Cultural and Historical Assessment of the Legal Status of Women in the North of the Italian Peninsula Abstract From the Restoration to the Pisanelli Code (1815-1865): A Cultural and Historical Assessment of the Legal Status of Women in the North of the Italian Peninsula Sara Delmedico In the context of a changing political landscape, where shifts in state boundaries and socio- economic structures deeply affected the Italian peninsula and its people, this thesis analyses women and the law in action in the years from the Restoration up to the enactment of the Pisanelli code (1815-1865). It does so with particular reference to the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia. These years also saw a number of changes in the legal system with various new laws instituted. The quick succession of these legal acts testified to the new ideas, behaviours and perceptions that began to take form in the period in question, but which the patriarchal and hierarchical nineteenth century society – so reliant on strict class stratification to perpetuate its status quo - resisted fully accepting. Within this context, women began to redefine their sense of self and to think of themselves as having an identity which went beyond their traditional domestic roles of mother, wife or daughter.

After a brief introduction, in which the anonymous author extols the virtues of the republican constitution of 1795 (see item #18) as bringing an end both to noble decadence and civil discord, and notes that the reader will detect ‘mille idee di Rousseau, di Montesquieu, di Locke, di Smith, e di molti altri Filosofi’, the work is divided into thirteen letters, in which he sets out what an education would look like, both for girls and boys, that would prepare citizens for a properly engaged public life.
