From 904, Bishop Adalbert gave the city years of improvements and renovations, but from 1098 it was a Free Commune and, after several wars against Brescia, it joined the Lombard League against Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. From the 13th century, while battles raged between Guelphs and Ghibellines, the city became an influence of the Visconti of Milan, who fortified the Citadel.Having become part of the Venetian Republic's dominions, the Venetians rebuilt the old city, erecting imposing defensive walls. Venetian rule ended with the Napoleonic era, which came after the short-lived Bergamasque Republic, the Cisalpine Republic and the Kingdom of Italy.
