l volume mira a contestualizzare i rapporti tra Chiara d'Assisi e la Chiesa romana. Nella creazione del nuovo Ordine di S. Damiano il cardinale Ugo d'Ostia giocò un ruolo fondamentale, finora poco considerato dalla storiografia: l'esame del suo operato come cardinale legato (1217-1221) e poi come papa Gregorio IX (1227-1241) consente di cogliere le novità istituzionali da lui introdotte nel dare forma alla vita regolare femminile. Il suo tentativo di creare un nuovo Ordine religioso femminile sotto la diretta responsabilità del papato, dovette fare i conti con la determinazione di Chiara e delle sue sorelle, decise a seguire fino in fondo l'esempio di Francesco e dei suoi frati.

Abstract
The volume aims to contextualise the relationship between Clare of Assisi and the Roman Church. In the creation of the new Order of S. Damiano, cardinal Hugo (Hugolino) of Ostia played a fundamental role, hitherto little considered by historiography: the examination of his work as a cardinal legate (1217-1221) and then as Pope Gregory IX (1227-1241) makes it possible to focus the institutional innovations introduced by him in shaping the regular female life. His attempt to create a new female religious Order under the direct responsibility of the papacy had to deal with the determination of Clare and her sisters, who decided to follow only the example of Francis and his friars.
