Italy faced a number of catastrophes in the long sixteenth century.
This economic and demographic history follows the consequences of
these catastrophes - the action of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse -
War, Famine and Plague, all followed by Death. Guido Alfani
considers the short-term effects of the calamities affecting
Renaissance Italy as well as the impact they had, in the medium-
and long-term, on the general economic and demographic trend of the
peninsula. The calamities are shown to be not only the source of
destruction, but also the cause of a significant redistribution of
population and wealth; in other words, they produced winners as
well as losers. This overall picture of the economic conditions of
Italy in the late Renaissance challenges the received wisdom that
suggests, at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the Italian
economy was still healthy, innovating and dynamic.
