The Oath of Pontida Ceremony of Alliance on 07/04/1167 between the communes of Lombardy against the Holy Roman Empire of Frederic Barberousse - It is at the origin of the Lega Lombarda (League of North) (Oath of Pontida, April 7,1167 marking the foundation of the Lombard League, which nine years later would go on to defeat Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa at the Battle of Legnano) Engraving from "I misteri del vaticano" by Franco Mistrali 1861 Private collection by Mistrali, Franco (fl. 1843); (add. info. : The Oath of Pontida Ceremony was a pivotal moment in history when various communes in Lombardy joined forces against the powerful Holy Roman Empire under Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. This engraving captures that historic event and serves as a reminder of their determination and unity. In this image, we witness an assembly taking place in Pontida where representatives from different cities stand together to swear allegiance to each other and pledge their resistance against imperial oppression. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as these brave men gather under a clear sky adorned with flags representing their respective towns. This print symbolizes not only their commitment but also marks the birthplace for what would become known as the Lombard League. Their alliance proved instrumental in shaping Italian history as it paved the way for future victories such as their triumph over Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa at the Battle of Legnano nearly a decade later. Preserved through time, this engraving offers us a glimpse into an era defined by struggle and resilience. It stands testament to human perseverance and reminds us that even against seemingly insurmountable odds, unity can prevail. "
