About the author
Born in Siena on January 5, 1884, Guido Mengozzi was an Italian scholar of legal history and archival studies. Records from the Italian archival system describe him as an archivist and note that he earned a law degree before qualifying to teach the history of Italian law.
He is known for studies of the Italian Middle Ages, including work on the legal and social organization of cities in the Lombard and Frankish period. Project Gutenberg lists La città italiana nell'alto Medio Evo: Il periodo langobardo-franco, a book that examines the development of Italian urban life in the early medieval centuries.
Mengozzi died in Siena in 1960. While concise biographical information is limited in the sources available here, his surviving work shows a strong interest in how institutions, territory, and civic life were shaped over time.
