Attraverso testimonianze appartenenti al mondo delle confraternite ruotanti intorno agli ambienti mendicanti, l’intervento intende soffermarsi sul complesso ruolo rivestito all’interno della società italiana due-trecentesca da queste associazioni laicali-religiose, soffermandosi in particolare sui momenti in cui la pietas da loro espressa diventava terreno di convergenza o di rivalità fra la Chiesa e i pubblici poteri.
