The ten-year war - The Communes

Thus we reach the beginning of the XII century when Gravedona had by then become a centre of noteworthy importance; it took part in the ten-year war between Como and Milan (1118-1127), and then in the Constance peace deal which led to the end of conflict between Barbarossa and the Lombard Communes in 1183.
On this occasion, history relates that the Gravedona fleet sacked Federico Barbarossa's war spoils while it was being transported to Chiavenna by boat. From which the phrase pronounced by the outraged emperor: "I pardon all the Lombard Communes save the maleficent People of Gravedona".

SOnce all traces of feudal servitude and local autonomy under the domination of Como die out communal life however continues to flourish; the most inportant centres, Gravedona, Dongo and Domaso become the homes of the same noble families which had already characterized the former period of life in the Communes.
