The essay examines a dossier of placita from Carolingian Italy and analyses them from the perspective of the relationship between local societies and places of justice. In this perspective, it emphasises how the action of people claiming their freedom created a new 'political landscape' linking the places of individual existence and the places of power and justice, but not community action. In fact, it was mainly family or small neighbourhood ties that prevailed among those who claimed their freedom, not those of 'village communities', which in many respects were yet to come.
