The aim of the article is to contribute to the understanding of the structuring processes of the elites in Tuscany from the reign of Lothar I. From a perspective focused on the study of the spaces of political action and the networks of power, I am proposing to examine an area other than the so-far most extensively analysed Lucca, on account of its documentary consistency. I will focus my study on the parental group of the Farolfingi and on a man called Adonaldus, with a significant graphic profile. In following their traces, the scope of investigation extends to Roman Tuscia and Rome itself.
