In this work, Nobel Prize winner Dario Fo offers a lucid and humorous vision of one of the most fascinating episodes of the Middle Ages: the resistance of the small city of Alessandria against the powerful Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Moving away from official history, the author narrates how this community managed to defy the most fearsome army of the time, becoming an enduring symbol of freedom and courage. With an irreverent and critical style, Fo reconstructs the birth of the Lombard municipalities and their struggle for civil and economic autonomy.
