‘Italian’ merchants in 15th-century Split
Main Article Content
Abstract
This essay aims to examine the Italian mercantile presence in fifteenth-century Split. The presence of numerous Italian merchants not only stimulated an economy that was already flourishing and devoted to trade: it also allowed for organic and functional links with the major economies and financial centres of the time – especially Venice and Florence – as well as with the supply markets of the Kingdom of Naples. These merchants were able to weave tight relationships with the socio-economic structures of Split’s community and furthermore exhibited a strong proclivity for establishing deep roots in the city.
