"The medieval servile community fell short of these goals, and should not be idealized as an example of communalism.

"With the use of land also came the use of the "commons'- meadows, forests, lakes, wild pastures - that provided crucial resources for the peasant economy (wood for fuel, timber for building, fishponds, grazing grounds for animals) and fostered community cohesion and cooperation. In Northern Italy, control over these resources even provided the basis for the development of communal self-administrations."
