Abstract
During the Middle Age centuries, the roads close to the towns were reorganized in accord with urban transformations. Even in road links between cities and in planning rural landscape, the middle age culture has its own project vision which not always followed those of the ancient times. The geography around cities takes form in many symbolic ways. New place names give a new plan to the territory. Sometimes the territory was designed with good drawing quality, sometimes it was described more synthetically. In many cases, this plant was only a mental idea used for the mnemonic or the oral description of the places. Different regional Italian places are studied in order to recognize words and theoretical and technical models used at that time. The result is a revaluation of the Middle Age people's ability in planning and managing roads and lands.
