Did ordinary Italians have a 'Renaissance'? This book presents the
first in-depth exploration of how artisans and small local traders
experienced the material and cultural Renaissance. Drawing on a
rich blend of sixteenth-century visual and archival evidence, it
examines how individuals and families at artisanal levels (such as
shoemakers, barbers, bakers and innkeepers) lived and worked,
managed their household economies and consumption, socialised in
their homes, and engaged with the arts and the markets for luxury
goods. It demonstrates that although the economic and social status
of local craftsmen and traders was relatively low, their material
possessions show how these men and women who rarely make it into
the history books were fully engaged with contemporary culture,
cultural customs and the urban way of life.
