Because of its long tradition of communal self-governance, Christianity in medieval Italy, perhaps more than anywhere else, was truly a \"people's church.\" At the same time, its exceptional urban wealth and literacy rates, along with its rich and varied intellectual and artistic culture, led to diverse forms of religious devotion and institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors: Maria Pia Alberzoni on heresy; Frances Andrews on urban religion; Cécile Caby on monasticism; Giovanna Casagrande on mendicants; George Dameron on Florence; Antonella Degl'Innocenti on saints; Marina Gazzini on lay confraternities; Maureen C.
