Abstract

[EN] The first half of the ninth century saw profound changes in the Veneto-Friuli area, as well as in the Alemannic-Rhaetian area, regions closely connected to each other after the Carolingian conquest of Italy. The Friulian aristocracy was experiencing a phase of decline, while the Veronese aristocracy became stronger, in a framework of apparently little relationship with the Frankish rulers. On the other hand, although often holding prestigious positions in Italy, the Rhaetian-Alemannic aristocracy found itself living on a razor’s edge, especially after the convulsion of Carolingian political events and the various hypotheses concerning the imperial division. The article aims to examine the activities of the aristocracies of the Veneto-Friuli area in the broader context of their relations with the Rhaetian-Alemannic world and the Carolingian family, marked by repeated dynastic clashes and reconciliations.
