“The Longobards in Italy. Places of the power (568-774 A.D.)”

The Longobard gens played an influential role in the Early Middle Ages Ancient, and achieved a high level in the architectural and artistical production. It is on these grounds that Longobard Italy and the seven most representative places of the historical and cultural group of Longobard people have been chosen. The properties included in the PROPOSED SERIES appear then as the best samples of the cultural integration of the Longobard people in the Roman-Mediterranean and Christian context.

THE PROPOSED SERIES for the inscription to the World Heritage List UNESCO is not made up by homogeneous goods from the typological point of view, but rather by structures, which are heterogeneous in their function and morphology. Because of the typological variety of the included goods, THE PROPOSED SERIES does not still find similar examples in the World Heritage List.
