This essay provides an analysis of the troubled period that followed the death of Gian Galeazzo Visconti, by particularly focusing on the dominion of Pandolfo Malatesta in Eastern Lombardy, one of the condottieri that had served the duchy in the previous decades. Special attention has been paid to the relationship between the new government and local factions, on order to verity to what extent Pandolfo was able to maintain the super partes role towards the factions that Gian Galeazzo had already promoted in the duchy. Another topic concerns the re-emergence of the Popolo within the local political society at that time, and particularly the weakness of this phenomenon in Brescia, at least until the first decade of the 15th century.
