The Lombards were a Germanic tribe who ruled a kingdom in Italy from 568-774 AD. Known for their distinct culture, their name is often associated with the region Lombardy in modern-day Northern Italy.
Originating from Northern Europe, the Lombards descended into Italy in the 6th century. Their influence spread over Italy, bringing cultural changes and collaborations. Their rule extended over regions like Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna and Southern Italy, contributing to the architectural makeup of heritage sites.
The Lombard culture was a mix of their Germanic roots and the Roman-Byzantine traditions of the lands they ruled. It was in architecture that their artistic sophistication was truly manifested. The church of Santa Sofia in Benevento and the Tempietto Longobardo in Cividale del Friuli earned UNESCO World Heritage status as testimony to the Lombard's diverse cultural heritage.
The Lombards also had a remarkable legal system that displayed a unique blend of Roman and Germanic customs, signified by the Lombard Laws, which strongly influenced later Italian legal traditions.
Overall, Lombards added a new layer of cultural, architectural, and legal richness to Italy - a heritage still resonating in Lombardy and other Italian regions today.
