Best Answer

The fortunes of medieval Rome rested on being the seat of the papacy. From 1309 to1377 seven popes resided in Avignon in France, instead of Rome (the Avignon Papacy). With the absence of the popes, the population of Rome decreased and the city was neglected. When the popes returned to Rome they undertook ambitious programmes of reconstruction and urban regeneration.
