The first part of the article reconstructs the events that characterized the path of affirmation of urban history in Italy, focusing in particular on the historiographical debate that became particularly intense during the seventies. Although urban history in Italy does not have a specific disciplinary status, the historiographical debate shows that interdisciplinary is the feature that most characterizes the subject. In the second part of the article, some possible readings of the urban history of the early modern period are proposed. The proposal emphasizes the opportunity to link the history of the city to that of the surrounding area, together with a more marked interdisciplinary approach, so far practiced with partial effectiveness.

Abstract
The first part of the article reconstructs the events that characterized the path of affirmation of urban history in Italy, focusing in particular on the historiographical debate that became particularly intense during the seventies. Although urban history in Italy does not have a specific disciplinary status, the historiographical debate shows that interdisciplinary is the feature that most characterizes the subject. In the second part of the article, some possible readings of the urban history of the early modern period are proposed. The proposal emphasizes the opportunity to link the history of the city to that of the surrounding area, together with a more marked interdisciplinary approach, so far practiced with partial effectiveness.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
