About The Book

This volume brings together a set of classic essays by Domenico Sella in which he reassesses the economic fortunes of Northern Italy in particular Lombardy and Venice during the 16th and 17th centuries. In addition the literature on the economics and society of northern Italy had hitherto dealt primarily with the major cities Milan Florence and Venice and their celebrated manufactures extensive commercial activities and banking. By contrast their countryside was largely neglected and its population dismissed as an undifferentiated mass of peasants fully engaged in farming. The essays in this volume represent as many soundings into this long forgotten rural world. As it turns out rural communities often harbored handicraft industries and the latter appear to have avoided the debacle that hit the urban economies and their celebrated manufactures highly regulated as they were by the guilds in the face of international competition.
