The essay considers the strong interaction in the city between the presence of religious and public authorities in promoting peace both within the different cities and between the cities themselves. The sermons of the friars, marked by a strong ethical commitment and by the promise of eternal goods (or perennial punishments) found a wide echo in the urban world at the beginning of the 13th century, tired of continuous wars. The style of the new sermons, mostly performed outdoors and in front of large crowds, met with a wide response, even of a political nature: the preachers were acclaimed by the population as rectors of some cities, because in them, in their sermons and in their calls for pacification, the cities saw the possibility of agreeing between the parties in dispute. The results of such pacifications were not favorable and so the attempts of peace by the friars were set aside, even if their style of communication was also taken up in the public sphere.
Il saggio considera la forte interazione in ambito cittadino tra presenza di religiosi e autorità pubbliche nel promuovere pacificazioni sia all'interno delle diverse città sia tra le città stesse. Le prediche dei frati, segnate da un forte ipegno etico e dalla promessa dei beni eterni (o dei castighi perenni) trovarono vasta eco nel mondo urbano dell'inizio del XIII secolo, stanco delle continue guerre. Lo stile delle nuove prediche, perlopiù svolte all'aperto e davanti a folle sterminate, incontrò ampia risposta anche di carattere politico: i predicatori furono acclamati dalla popolazione rettori di alcune città, poiché in essi, nelle loro prediche e nei loro inviti alla pacificazione le città vedevano la possibilità di accordare le parti tra loro in lotta. Gli esiti di tali pacificazioni non furono favorevoli e si interruppero così i tentativi di pace ad opera dei frati furono accantonati, anche se il loro stile di comunicazione fu ripreso anche in ambito pubblico.

Abstract
The essay considers the strong interaction in the city between the presence of religious and public authorities in promoting peace both within the different cities and between the cities themselves. The sermons of the friars, marked by a strong ethical commitment and by the promise of eternal goods (or perennial punishments) found a wide echo in the urban world at the beginning of the 13th century, tired of continuous wars. The style of the new sermons, mostly performed outdoors and in front of large crowds, met with a wide response, even of a political nature: the preachers were acclaimed by the population as rectors of some cities, because in them, in their sermons and in their calls for pacification, the cities saw the possibility of agreeing between the parties in dispute. The results of such pacifications were not favorable and so the attempts of peace by the friars were set aside, even if their style of communication was also taken up in the public sphere.
