520 1 $a"This book recounts the historical development of the Italian commune of Prato. In telling the story of Prato's origins, construction, and demise, Alick McLean considers the planning, art, architecture, politics, faith, and daily life of Prato and its citizens, showing how major historical events and trends in the Italian middle ages were experienced within the architecture and streetscapes of this particular place." "The research is supported by new photography, plans, and maps. Together they provide a clear picture of what distinguishes Italy's medieval communes from Imperial Rome: the intention to serve the welfare of residents rather than the conquests or hegemony of administration."--BOOK JACKET.
