| Summary: | The paper focuses the test of fire that took place in Florence in 1068 and shows the way contemporaries saw it as a hierophany aimed at showing divine benevolence towards the reformed monasticism that fought the plague of simony and the corruption of the clergy. The text highlights the important repercussions of this miraculous event on the political structure of the city and beyond, linking it to the crisis of legitimacy of the local episcopate and to the first definition of communal institutions; therefore, it retraces its centuries-old echoes up to the late xv the century and the Savonarolian age. |
