The Arte dei rigattieri (merchants of second-hand goods in
Florence) has never been the subject of a systematic study, even in
scholarship devoted to the history of trades. Underpinned by a
large collection of archival material, this book analyzes the
social life and economic activity of rigattieri in
fifteenth-century Florence. It offers invaluable information on
issues such as the relationship between socio-political
affiliations and economic interest as well as the structures of
consumption and the spending power of different social groups.
Furthermore, through the lens of the Arte dei Rigattieri, this work
examines the connection between the development of the political
bureaucracy, the establishment of Medicean power, and
contemporaneous processes of identity construction and social
mobility.
