About this book

Desiderio, ultimo re dei Longobardi, segnò con le sue gesta la storia d'Italia. Ricordato come barbaro, fu l'emblema e l'ultimo fulgore di una civiltà che per due secoli fiorì in Italia e le cui tracce permangono nel patrimonio artistico di città come Brescia, Pavia, Benevento, Salerno. Come duca di Tuscia conquistò il potere, stabilendosi a Brescia nel monastero di San Salvatore, da cui regnò sull'Italia dell'VIII secolo. Durante il suo lungo regno fu prima protetto dai Franchi e difensore del papato, quindi alleato di Carlo Magno, e poi, infine, nemico dei papi e di Carlo. Vinto alle Chiuse di Susa dai Franchi, Desiderio fu assediato a Pavia, finché nel giugno del 774, arresosi, fu rinchiuso nel monastero di Corbie, dove poco dopo morì. Dopo essere stato sconfitto da Carlo Magno, il suo regno fu subordinato a un potere esterno alla penisola italiana, sancendo la nascita della dominazione territoriale della Chiesa di Roma. Si propone una narrazione degli ultimi vent'anni di storia del Regno longobardo diversa da quella scritta dai vincitori della complessa partita che si giocò in Italia nella seconda metà del secolo VIII.
