The Ciompi Rebellion (English: The Ciompi Rebellion) (Italian: il tumulto dei Ciompi)

Japanese: チョンピの乱 - ちょんぴのらん（英語表記）il tumulto dei Ciompi イタリア語

A revolt by lower-class workers in Florence in 1378. The origin of the word ciompi is unclear, but it meant subordinate workers who worked in the preparatory processes of the wool industry (scouring, beating, carding, etc.). They were under the control of the wool guilds and had no organization or political rights. On July 20, when the defeat of the War against the Papacy (1375-78) was announced, they revolted, besieged the city hall, forced the representative of the city government to resign, and appointed Michele di Lando, who had been the middleman who organized the ciompi, as their representative. They then founded three guilds: the ciompi, the dyers, and the finishers.

1378年にフィレンツェで生じた下層労働者の反乱。チョンピciompiの語源は不明であるが，毛織物工業の準備工程(洗毛，打毛，梳毛など)で働く従属労働者を意味した。彼らは毛織物ギルドの統制下にあって組織も政治的権利ももたなかった。対教皇庁戦争(1375‐78)の敗戦が伝えられた7月20日，彼らは反乱を起こして市庁舎を包囲して都市政府の代表を辞職させ，チョンピを組織する仲介業者であったミケーレ･ディ･ランドを代表にすえ，チョンピ，染色職人，仕上げ職人の三つのギルドを創設した。
