from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Berardo Pio (born January 14, 1966 in Teramo ) is an Italian historian .

Berardo Pio graduated in 1990 with a laureate in history with a focus on the Middle Ages at the University of Bologna with a thesis on Forme di potere e istituzioni nell'Italia normanna attraverso Ugo Falcando e Romualdo Salernitano at Maria Consiglia De Matteis . He received his PhD in Romance Philology and Medieval Culture in 1998 ( dottorato di ricerca ). From March 1999 to February 2002 he was a fellow at the Institute for Palaeography and Medieval Studies at the University of Bologna. In March 2002 he was appointed ricercatore (a kind of research assistant, but with independence) for medieval history at the same department. Since 2014 he has been teaching as Associate Professor of Medieval History at the University of Bologna. He is President of the Institute of History at the University of Bologna (ISTUB).

His work focuses on the history of political thought, the pontificate of Boniface VIII , the Kingdom of Sicily , the Middle Ages in Abruzzo , the history of the city and the University of Bologna. In 1996 he published a biography of the Sicilian King Wilhelm I. In 2001 he presented an edition of the Chartular Chronicle , Chronicorum liber Sancti Bartholomei de Carpineto . The chronicle, written by the Benedictine monk Alexander, who lives in the monastery of San Bartolomeo in Carpineto della Nora , deals with the history of the Abruzzo monastery from its foundation in 962 to the end of the Norman kingdom in 1194. After a long break, Alexander also worked on supplements from the period from 1209 to 1217 a. Up to the edition published in 2001 there were only insufficient prints by Ferdinando Ughelli (1659) and in the new edition of his Italia Sacra by Nicola Coleti (1722). Pio's edition is dedicated to the monk Alexander and his working method in a separate chapter. He points out that Pio wrote and collected the chronicles and the documents defending the rights of his monastery. For Pio, the chronicle from the end of the 12th century represented the high point of the source genre, which mainly appeared in the monastic area. Pio wrote the legal opinion De fletu ecclesie by Johannes de Legnano on the legitimacy of the election of Urban VI. edited and introduced and dedicated a monograph to this eminent legal scholar from the University of Bologna, which was published in 2018. In 2011 he published the Festschrift with 33 contributions in honor of Maria Consiglia De Matteis. In 2016 he was co-editor of an anthology with 16 articles. The essays contained therein deal with the short and long-term effects of crises on the European university landscape. Pio devoted himself to the famine from 1315 to 1317, the plague from 1347 and the Hundred Years War from the 14th century. He identified the real challenge for the universities in the Western Schism . The universities were only very hesitant to emancipate themselves from the tutelage of secular sovereigns. Pio also wrote numerous articles for the Dizionario biografico degli Italiani .
