Abstract: The work focuses on political, social and economic events of Salerno during the Angevin age of Kingdom of Sicily (1266-1435), connected to the importance of the fenomeno urbano in the Middle Ages, significantly involving cities of Southern Italy, and to recent studies that have updated the previous historiographical results, sometimes leading to a revision, even substantially, of consolidated convictions. Regarding Salerno, despite studies related to individual aspects for Angevin age, there is a substantial lack of studies aimed at comprehensive survey of its civil and religious reality, because there wasn’t an increase of his studies from the first half of XXth Century, that, although meritorious, are marked by the inevitable limits of their historical context. So, the present work, without pretensions of exhaustiveness, intends to offer a vision as much as possible “global” of Salerno’s Angevin history, recking new, cited, historiographical guidelines. The text, therefore, is divided into two sections respectively focusing on “environment and forms of civil power” and "powers and religious institutions", both keys to access to the complex civil and religious reality of Salerno in Angevin age: they show main structural and relational dynamics, as well as, together, most relevant institutional innovations.
