'Ouch Pisa, shame of people' <br />Dante <br /> <br />The scholar Muratori loved the mankind as well as the simple laws and wrote that <br />In 1251, Messere lo Conte Tomazo della Cierra was major of Pisa. <br />He was a nobleman on the way to the democracy, <br />Run the maritime republic born on the branchs of Arno. <br />Amalfi, Genoa and Venice had the medieval patronage of the mounts around; <br />Pisa had the Massarosa hills to the north and the Collesalvetti ones to the south, <br />And then marshes and marshes, as Gino Benvenuti told, not a lagoon. <br />It was Ghibelline town till this made sense. <br />The Pope is for eternal life, <br />Sometimes the Emperor is for life on earth. <br />Florence was Guelph, at first ruined Pisa preferring the Talamone harbor, <br />Then bought Pisa corrupting a Giovanni Gambacorta. <br />The location of Porto Pisano was difficult along the river, <br />Other harbour settlements were hidden among the trees of San Rossore, <br />The republic held well but couldn't spread.<br /><br />Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aac-the-origins-pisa/
