In the 14<sup>th</sup> century a lot of north Italian towns rebelled against the power of their Lords and became independent as little states: they elected their authorities, did their laws, made justice, minted their money and named themselves "Comune" (means "Mutual"). The Emperor Friederik I of Swaben, named "Readbeard", moved war against the Comuni to restore his authority in the peninsula. In 1160 he besieged Milan and after two years, in the Palm's Sunday of 1162, the city was destroyed. | In the 14<sup>th</sup> century a lot of north Italian towns rebelled against the power of their Lords and became independent as little states: they elected their authorities, did their laws, made justice, minted their money and named themselves "Comune" (means "Mutual").

In the 7th April 1167, in the benedictine abbey of Pontida (near Bergamo) the main cities of the area took an oath: to fight against the Emperor for their liberty and independence. Together with Milan, the representatives of Lodi, Bergamo, Brescia, Vercelli, Alessandria, Verona, Vicenza, Padova, Treviso, Venezia, Cremona, Mantova, Piacenza, Parma, Modena, Bologna, and Ferrara took part to the event and assumed the name of Lega Lombarda ( "Lumbard Alliance") and adopted the banner of the Roman Church: a red cross in a wite field, consigned in 1066 by the pope Alessandro II (Anselmo da Baggio, from Milan) to Erembaldo, the city-captain and head of the Reformist Party. In meantime the "Vexillum Ecclesiae" (the same of saint George, saint Michael and the reborn Christ) became the arms of Milan. In 1183 the same Emperor acknowledged the Municipal Autonomy with the treaty signed in Konstanz. After this most part of the allied cities adopted a red cross in their arms. | In the 7th April 1167, in the benedictine abbey of Pontida (near Bergamo) the main cities of the area took an oath: to fight against the Emperor for their liberty and independence.
