	Magistrate The term magistrate is used in a variety of systems of governments and laws to refer to a civilian officer who administers the law. In ancient Rome, a '' magistratus'' was one of the highest ranking government officers, and possessed both judicial and executive powers. In other parts of the world, such as China, a magistrate was responsible for administration over a particular geographic area.

picture info	Medieval Italy The history of Italy in the Middle Ages can be roughly defined as the time between the collapse of the Western Roman Empire and the Italian Renaissance. The term "Middle Ages" itself ultimately derives from the description of the period of "obscurity" in Italian history during the 9th to 11th centuries, the saeculum obscurum or "Dark Age" of the Roman papacy as seen from the perspective of the 14th to 15th century Italian Humanists. Late Antiquity in Italy lingered on into the 7th century under the Ostrogothic Kingdom and the Byzantine Empire under the Justinian dynasty, the Byzantine Papacy until the mid 8th century. The "Middle Ages" proper begin as the Byzantine Empire was weakening under the pressure of the Muslim conquests, and most of the Exarchate of Ravenna finally fell under Lombard rule in 751.

	Assessor (Italy) {{Politics of Italy In Italy an assessor (in Italian language: ''assessore'') is a member of a ''Giunta'', the executive body in all levels of local government: regions, provinces and comunes. Assessors are appointed by the chief executive of local government, who chairs the ''Giunta''--the mayor of a comune, the president of a province or region. They serve until the chief executive ends his term or resigns, if he doesn't dismiss them. In comunes with 15,000 residents or more and in provinces, assessors cannot be members of ''Consiglio'' (council), the local legislative body: if a member of council is appointed as assessor, he must resign from council. The mayor or president usually assigns to each assessor responsibility for a specific aspect of municipal, provincial or regional affairs and the supervision of corresponding branch of local government, called ''assessorato'' (department). Among the assessors one is chosen by mayor or president as his deputy and is called ''vice ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
