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