Commune of Rome

The Commune of Rome (Italian: Comune di Roma) was established in 1144 by Arnold of Brescia after a rebellion led with Giordano Pierleoni. Pierleoni led a people's revolt due to the increasing powers of the Pope and the entrenched powers of the nobility. The goal of the rebellion was to organize the government of Rome in a similar fashion to that of the previous Roman Republic. Pierleoni was named the "first Patrician of the Roman Commune", but was deposed in 1145.
