Antico piccolo insediamento nella valle paludosa della Senne, Bruxelles si é a poco a poco trasformata in capitale dei Paesi Bassi, del Belgio e dell'Europa.

In una sintesi molto vivace lo storico brussellese Paul De Ridder, dottore in storia medievale, traccia le grandi linee di questa evoluzione. Oltre che all'evoluzione politica, egli si interessa anche agli aspetti socio-economici, culturali ed artistici.

PAUL DE RIDDER (° Ukkel, 1948) dottore in storia medievale lavora presso la Biblioteca Reale Alberto I, a Bruxelles.

Translation: Domenico MILANO
