Peace of Lodi - A peace agreement signed at Lodi, Italy between Milan and Venice on April 9, 1454.
It is also used to refer to the related agreement among Milan, Venice and Florence signed at Venice on August 30, in which the parties bound themselves to the principles of non-aggression.
It was a celtic village that in roman times was called in latin Laus Pompeia (probably in honor of the consul Gneus Pompeus Strabo[?]) and was known also because its position allowed many Gauls of Gallia Cisalpina to obtain the roman citizenship.
In 1423, the antipope Antipope John XXIII, from Lodi's Duomo, launched his bolla by which he was calling the Council of Constance (end of the Great Schism).
In 1454 representatives from all the regional states of Italy met in Lodi to sign the treaty known as the peace of Lodi, by which they intended to work in the direction of an italian unification (but this peace lasted only 40 years).
