Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the ideas of late medieval Siena citizens about power. The analysis of the texts of four urban chronicles of the XIV - the beginning of the XV century allows judging social and political views of their authors, which form a certain image of power. The researcher draws conclusions about the transformation of the image of the popular government of Nine Signori (1287-1355) from "good" in its contemporary chronicles to "bad" in later ones and emphasizes objective and subjective reasons for this transformation.
