The Lombards in Italy
After a long migration, the Lombard people arrived in Italy in AD 568, led by King Alboin. In a short time they conquered the entire peninsula, establishing a kingdom able to oppose the Byzantines: Langobardia Maior. The Lombards in Italy had a fundamental role, because they created a new culture that united their Germanic origins with Roman traditions to an extent that Paul the Deacon considered them to be the true heirs of the Romans rather than the Byzantine peoples.
The UNESCO site
Nel 2011 l’UNESCO ha riconosciuto patrimonio dell’umanità, iscrivendo nella World Heritage List, il sito seriale “I Longobardi in Italia. I luoghi del potere (568-774 d.C.)”. A testimonianza unica e preziosa della storia e della cultura longobarda sono stati scelti 7 gruppi di monumenti, che si trovano in tutta Italia: questo riconoscimento simboleggia l’inestimabile valore di questi luoghi che rappresentano per le generazioni di oggi e di domani.
