Dante Alighieri Quotes (Author of Inferno) Battle of Campaldino. The Battle of Campaldino was a battle between the Guelphs and Ghibellines on 11 June 1289.[1] Mixed bands of pro-papal Guelf forces of Florence and allies, Pistoia, Lucca, Siena and Prato, all loosely commanded by the paid condottiero Amerigo di Narbona with his own professional following, met a Ghibelline force from Arezzo including the perhaps reluctant bishop, Guglielmino degli Ubertini, in the plain of Campaldino, which leads from Pratovecchio to Poppi, part of the Tuscan countryside along the upper Arno called the Casentino.

Guelfi e Ghibellini erano le due fazioni opposte nella politica italiana dal XII secolo fino alla nascita delle Signorie nel XIV secolo. Le origini dei nomi risalgono alla lotta per la corona imperiale dopo la morte dell'imperatore Enrico V (1125) tra le casate bavaresi e sassoni dei Welfen (pronuncia velfen, da cui la parola guelfo) con quella sveva degli Staufer, signori del castello di Waiblingen (anticamente Wibeling, da cui la parola ghibellino).
Successivamente, dato che la casata sveva acquistò la corona imperiale e, con Federico I Barbarossa, cercò di consolidare il proprio potere nel Regno d’Italia, in questo ambito politico la lotta denominò chi appoggiava l’impero (Ghibellini) e chi lo contrastava in appoggio al papato (Guelfi).
