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.
