【 摘 要 】

The siege of Brescia was conceived by the emperor Federico II, as a leg of the progressive march closing in on Milan, the real objective of his campaign. With respect to the current assault techniques, characterised by long but static blocks, the undertaking was relatively short and marked by various violent attacks on behalf of the attackers; but the remarkable unfurling of forces on behalf of the emperor was not enough to win over the Brescian resistance. The siege of Brescia, therefore, had a relevant and significant political value, marking a turnaround in the relations between the empire and the Italian cities, being of a substantial advantage to the latter.
