individuelles, conditions familiales, appartenance de classe et transformations
des structures économiques et sociales en milieu rural. Le thème est
développé dans un schéma de longue durée visant à souligner les facteurs
de continuité et de rupture, à comparer les différentes possibilités et opportunités
d’essor individuel et familial, à les relier avec le milieu familial et
avec l’appartenance de classe, à mettre en évidence le rôle central joué par
les stratégies des foyers, par la cohésion interne des ménages et par les
changements de mentalités, aspirations, culture qui accompagnèrent les
grandes transformations structurelles des xixe et xxe siècles.
L’étude confronte aussi différentes approches méthodologiques dans la
mesure où elle unit l’analyse des structures à celle des parcours de vie, la
reconstruction des évolutions économiques et sociales à la micro-histoire.
Elle utilise ainsi une pluralité de sources. Des interviews « en profondeur »
complètent les données statistiques et sont mises en regard de la littérature
scientifique disponible et des documents conservés dans les Archives
Communales de Carmignano et les Archives d’État de Venise relatifs à
l’utilisation des terres, à la rente foncière et aux productions agricoles.

In quel periodo il potere marciano decise di sviluppare nel proprio territorio produzioni adeguate, per quantità e qualità dei raccolti, a soddisfare le richieste della cantieristica e, in primo luogo, dell'Arsenale. I risultati dell'iniziativa, ampiamente diretta e coordinata dalle magistrature veneziane, furono contrastanti. Dopo un primo periodo di sviluppo le colture entrarono in una fase di decadenza, attenuatasi nel Settecento e definitivamente interrotta soltanto sul finire dell'età moderna, quando la canapa avviò un ciclo espansivo di lungo periodo destinato a protrarsi grosso modo fino al secondo dopoguerra. Soltanto negli anni Quaranta e Cinquanta del Novecento la concorrenza delle fibre orientali, le trasformazioni dei modelli di consumo, i costi di produzione sempre meno competitivi condannarono la pianta tessile a una rapida, quanto ineluttabile scomparsa dalle nostre campagne.

In the second half of the fifteenth century Venice introduced hemp growing in the countryside aro... more In the second half of the fifteenth century Venice introduced hemp growing in the countryside around Padua with the aim of substituting imported hemp -a raw material of strategic importance for the fleet -with domestic hemp. Venice thus freed itself from a dependence on other countries which was potentially dangerous, both politically and militarily. The project was without doubt one of the most important examples of agricultural policy in the Modern Age, both because of the means employed and the objectives pursued. From the beginning it was a joint venture between the public and private sector, giving rise to a "hybrid" organisation in which the State determined cultivation procedures, quantities and prices, thereby concentrating the power derived from both technical and economic policies and technical and economic control, whilst owners and tenants provided land and manpower. Owing to the widespread control exercised by the Venetian Republic and the very limited scope for decisions on the part of individuals, domestic hemp growing soon became an extension of the Arsenal's organisational structure and the production of hemp became standard business for the public shipyard.

Venice thus freed itself from a dependence on other countries which was potentially dangerous, both politically and militarily. The project was without doubt one of the most important examples of agricultural policy in the Modern Age, both because of the means employed and the objectives pursued. From the beginning it was a joint venture between the public and private sector, giving rise to a "hybrid" organisation in which the State determined cultivation procedures, quantities and prices, thereby concentrating the power derived from both technical and economic policies and technical and economic control, whilst owners and tenants provided land and manpower. Owing to the widespread control exercised by the Venetian Republic and the very limited scope for decisions on the part of individuals, domestic hemp growing soon became an extension of the Arsenal's organisational structure and the production of hemp became standard business for the public shipyard.

Strategically located, La Tana provided Mediterranean traders with access to goods from the Far East and Russian plains, including hemp, an indispensable fibre for the manufacture of sails and rope so important to Venetian commercial interests. In the 13th and 14th centuries the Venetians prospered in this trade, working successfully within the confines of the fondaco.
This trade flourished until the end of the 14th century when the port was plundered by Tamerlane. Subsequent Ottoman expansion and the conquest of Istanbul gave the Turks control of the trade routes between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. In the 15th century Black Sea trade was largely oriented toward serving the needs (food, raw materials) of Istanbul, at which point the hemp trade between Venice and La Tana came to an end.

Along with commercial links, the contacts with the Byzantine and Arab entailed political and cultural aspects that deeply influenced the development of the Venetian society (Tenenti, 1-11). The urbane structure itself, formed during the period of most intense eastern trade, emerged as a fruitful synthesis of heterogeneous models eventually adapted to specific conditions and requirements (Jacoby, 1143-1192; Crouzet-Pavan, 3-100).
This paper argues that the Venetian fondaci ― a particular commercial building widely present in the Byzantium and Arab space, informally imported in the Italian city in the early medieval period ― are one of the most striking examples of this long lasting cultural transfer

Le siècle des Lumières détermina une générale redécouverte et une nouvelle réflexion sur la pensé... more Le siècle des Lumières détermina une générale redécouverte et une nouvelle réflexion sur la pensée classique faisant de celle-ci le point de référence de la culture européenne dans les domaines de la philosophie, de l’art et en particulier de la politique.
L’héritage classique, toutefois, ne se limita pas au seul domaine de la spéculation, créative ou politico-sociale, où, se posant comme élément innovateur par rapport au passé, il arriva à assumer un rôle propulsif vers la naissance d’une humanité que l’on voulait affranchie de l’irrationalité médiévale, mais conserva, jusqu’à la fin du XVIIIe, siècle une influence dominante même dans des domaines “techniques” comme l’hydraulique, la médecine, la biologie, l’architecture ou l’agronomie. Contrairement au progrès que la pensée des anciens détermina dans les aspects philosophiques et sociaux, dans le cadre technique elle constitua l’ultime expression du savoir médiéval élaboré grâce à l’assimilation, directe ou le plus souvent transmise à travers la tradition scolastique ou arabe, des textes grecs ou romains.
En ce contexte le XVIIIe apparaît comme un moment de transition, une frontière tout au long de laquelle se manifesta un rapport dialectique entre d’une part, la “modernité” de la philosophie ancienne, en mesure de contraster, grâce aux instruments fournis par la logique et la rationalité, des constructions ideales, politiques et sociales encore ancrées, sous bien des aspects, à des lignes de pensée fortement influencée par des structures idéologiques religieuses propres de la tradition médiévale; et, d’autre part, le caractère “arriéré” de cette même culture classique appliquée à des domaines purement concrets dont le développement avait désormais besoin de nouvelles bases et de nouveaux moyens intellectuels. Les sciences expérimentales en constituèrent le moment de synthèse.
Ces dernières, en effet, considérées au début comme une simple méthode de recherche, devinrent, dès le début du XIXe siècle, l’apport le plus original de la pensée occidentale moderne, capable, par la force de ses résultats, de s’imposer dans tous les domaines de la production intellectuelle jusqu’à influencer fortement même la spéculation philosophique.

Ce furent ces liens étroits et complexes, où l’expansion économique, l’affirmation militaire et politique se greffaient sur un environnement particulier, qui dictèrent en grande partie la construction de la ville et de ses infrastructures portuaires et commerciales. Si la richesse et LA puissance de Venise dérivèrent du contrôle des voies fluviales qui reliaient l’Adriatique au cœur de la Plaine du Pô et, successivement, d’une position quasiment hégémonique dans les réseaux marchands qui unissaient le Levant à l’Europe Centrale, sa structure urbaine fut largement tributaire, dans sa construction et son évolution de longue durée, de l’environnement lagunaire. La ville surgit sur l’eau. Bâtiments urbains et portuaires, maisons et dépôts de marchandises, infrastructures maritimes et lieux publics, chantiers navals et quais se juxtaposèrent dès le début, créant ainsi un espace où structures et fonctions différentes se succédaient sans solution de continuité. Dès lors il fut difficile, sinon impossible, de marquer une frontière entre le port et la ville, les deux entités étant intimement et indissolublement unies. La seule exception fut, du moins à partir des réformes du 14e siècle, l’Arsenal, séparé de la ville par une muraille et géré directement par le gouvernement vénitien comme entité autonome servant les intérêts supérieurs de la ville et de sa classe marchande. Mais ce ne fut qu’une exception dictée par un souci de sécurité militaire. Dans son ensemble Venise fut une ville-port, dans le sens où les « espaces maritimes » - quais, dépôts de marchandises, ateliers de constructions navales, douanes -, étaient effectivement dispersés dans l’ensemble de l’espace urbain. Cette caractéristique définit la cité adriatique jusqu’à la fin de l’âge moderne, le 18e siècle représentant un tournant où, peu à peu, se manifestèrent des processus destinés à transformer radicalement le rapport entre la ville elle-même et son port.

David Celetti -Université de Padoue (Italie) Le concept de « culture typique » -duquel on doit forcément partir pour tout raisonnement sur les « cultures alternatives » -s'est longtemps définit autour de la céréaliculture (blé, maïs, céréales mineurs,..). Cette dernière était en effet la forme la plus répandue d'exploitation du sol. Toute autre production alimentaire (légumes, fruits, vignoble, riz, élevage ) ou industrielle (par exemple plantes textiles ou colorantes) peut dès lors être considérée comme une option alternative. Elle relève, donc, d'une évaluation comparative et d'un choix établi en considérant nombre de facteurs (parmi lesquels émergent par importance l'évolution des prix, les perspectives de marché, la demande urbaine ou industrielle) 1 . L'introduction massive de cultures « non alimentaires » destinées au marché comportait une altération de l'équilibre traditionnel des foyers ruraux, basé sur l'indépendance alimentaire et la distance, voire la séparation, de l'économie monétaire. En ces termes les processus qui régirent l'option pour les cultures alternatives renvoient à une question historique importante, à savoir quand, pourquoi et avec quelles conséquences le paysan -et tout autre acteur député à décider les modalités d'exploitation du sol -aurait choisi de substituer la céréaliculture avec d'autres activités ; ou, plus précisément, aurait diminué sensiblement l'espace dédié à la céréaliculture pour élargir celui occupé par les « cultures alternatives ». Ce qui, logiquement, renvoie à la volonté de mitiger, par le biais d'une forte diversification culturelle, les effets des variations conjoncturelles, ou crises, des prix des « productions typiques » 2 . En partant de ces prémisses et en considérant le chanvre comme un exemple de culture alternative, la contribution vise à cerner les facteurs qui déterminèrent l'expansion de la plante textile dans la longue durée et de vérifier par ce biais si l'on peut trouver la crise des « production typiques » parmi les forces qui trainèrent l'expansion des chènevières. La question est affrontée en concentrant notre attention sur deux régions de grande diffusion de la fibre textile, à savoir l'Emilie (Italie centrale) et l'ancienne Généralité de Tours (France occidentale) et en présentant quelques réflexions sur le rôle de la Russie européenne dans le commerce international du chanvre, ainsi que sur les raisons qui on firent dès l'âge moderne le premier producteur du monde occidental. Fortement différenciées par caractéristiques géopolitiques, structures productives, méthodes d'exploitation, tous ces territoires virent une expansion remarquable de la fibre textile du 17 e au début du 20 e siècle. Les causes qui déterminèrent cet essor furent, toutefois, différentes. Après une introduction retraçant les origines et développements de la culture du chanvre dans le monde occidental, on se penchera sur nos cas d'études et on en reconstruira les parcours. On retracera les voies de développement du secteur et on en soulignera les particularités. En conclusion on présentera quelques réflexions de synthèse sur la place du chanvre dans les territoires analysés et sur son rôle en tant que « culture alternative ». Cette relation est en grande partie le fruit de recherches en cours.

I argued that what has been traditionally seen as a minor sector (compared at least to the widely traded silks and woolens), was in reality a key issue to the political economy of a “sea-born empire”, a strategic product for most European countries and an important raw material within the commercial flows that linked the Black Sea, Genoa and Venice, as well as the Russian and Polish plains to the Dutch, French, English arsenals though the Baltic harbors. I also stressed the long-term effects of hemp growing on the Venetian economy (imports substitution, agricultural progress, home spinning and weaving, creation of high quality, export oriented manufactures, local and international trade), while questioning the uncertain link between economic growth and state policies (setting of prices and production rules). Finally I compared the Venetian case with other European realities (France, England, Spain and Baltic German area), discussing historically still open questions of political economy (role of institutions, import substitution or export oriented growth, human capital and environment). Moreover this last aspect gave to the study a wider, global perspective and paving the way for further researches.

Such a definition must help us spotting the real object of our investigation. It has to say, in other words, what “development actually means in our societies, and within our historical framework. The thesis of the present lecture is that Gilbert Rist’s definition proposed the work Le développement. Histoire d’une croyance occidentale matches this condition. We prove such a conclusion highlighting the main features of development in light of history; stressing how development is actually linked to a wide range of economic, social, structural, and political factors; and making then clear that most “classical” definition of development do not say anything about its inner nature. They can’t, therefore, be helpful in spotting it into the real world. Finally we come to G. Rist’s definition, and prove its capacity in clarifying development’s inner nature, and mechanisms analysing it in light of historical evidences.

As the paper argues, this trade not only acquired a primary relevance within Ottoman and French economies but also created institutional and social interdependencies that prefigured nineteenth-century developments. The study discusses how economic, institutional, and social aspects are highly intertwined, each of them playing a core role in explaining the relevance of the French presence in the Early Modern Eastern Mediterranean.

It takes eighteenth-century Ottoman Candia – nowadays Iraklion / Heraklion – as a case study. This choice has been driven by the opportunity of analyzing – on a small scale – different aspects of living and trading in a "secondary" Levantine échelle during the eighteenth century. It also provides an opportunity to unveil interactions, contacts and transfers between the different communities living on the island. The "low status" of Crete within the overall French trade network notwithstanding, the échelle produced six sizeable files (AN, AE, B I 341–347) preserved at the Archives Nationales de France and devoted entirely to the lives of French residents in Crete.

The paper seeks to explore how small and medium handicrafts can successfully compete in the globalized market. It questions, in particular, the relevance of the territory, of industrial districts and of the use of information technology to create innovative approaches to production and marketing, and consolidate the territory's competitive position in global value chains. It highlights actual viable strategies for small and medium businesses operating in particularly complex sectors like those that are part of the "fashion system". Thus, the article deals with an important part of the national industry in the moment of worldwide crisis. Research Objective. The article discusses successful strategies of small firms in clothing and fashion industry. Its purpose is to verify if and how handicrafts operating in the sectors particularly exposed to international competition succeed in competing effectively in international markets. The study tests the thesis that local dimension does not necessarily represent a disadvantage in the age of globalization and that even handicrafts can play at the international level. The study also verifies the role of territory in granting unique competitive advantage in the global market. Data and Methods. The methodological approach combines analysis of statistical data with four case studies. The work combines analytical and empirical approaches to highlight how a single business can reach levels of excellence in troubled markets. Results. The study demonstrates that handicrafts can find spaces for growth in such declining sectors as cloth production in developed countries, provided that they succeed in focusing on niche markets through process, product, and marketing innovations; in using up-to-date technology; and in exploiting territorially embedded values. In this context technology emerges as a strategic tool as it lowers transaction costs and entrance barriers, offers innovative opportunities for reorganizing production processes, and enlarges potential markets. Industrial districts, then, continue to represent a viable strategic advantage in terms of flexibility, know-how, and cooperation. Finally, the brand "made in Italy" confirms its status as an internationally recognized synonym of quality and fashionable design, opening companies the way to high level, luxury niches.

Итало-советские отношения в это время традиционно считаются маргинальными, ограниченными периодическими и незначительными экономическими операциями. Утвердилось мнение, что идеологические барьеры, политический антагонизм и с середины 1930-х гг. итальянская поддержка режима Ф. Франко в Испании, нападение на Эфиопию и подготовка ко Второй мировой войне держали Италию и СССР на расстоянии друг от друга. Однако серьезные научные, хотя и немногочисленные, исследования показывают совершенно иную картину и позволяют по-новому взглянуть на экономические, социальные и культурные отношения двух стран-под углом зрения, который сильно отличается от традиционного видения. Статья, основываясь на итальянских научных работах, статистике и документах государственных и частных архивов, показывает важность торговли между двумя странами в 1920-х и 1930-х гг. Значение итало-советских связей показано на примере инвестиций компании ФИАТ-РИВ (FIAT-RIV) в Советском Союзе. Автор также рассматривает достижения и недоработки итальянской историографии по этой теме. Выясняется, что, несмотря на наличие нескольких исследований экономического взаимодействия Италии и СССР, в том числе и компании ФИАТ-РИВ, еще нет речи о том, чтобы полностью использовать богатый ресурс первичных источников и эвристические возможности для понимания всей важности этой страницы истории двух стран. Статья представляет первые результаты новых исследований по этой теме.

Most of them lived in Constantinople and in other active trade centres, such as Smyrna and Thessaloniki. Among them, more than 700 "official" French residents, including merchants, diplomats, and artisans, formed one of the largest foreign communities up to the middle of the 19th century. Within this context, by focusing on the role of women as intermediaries and catalysts of intercommunity contacts and connections, this essay aims to show the extent to which long-term permanence in the Levant fostered personal relations between French and Ottoman inhabitants. The chapter assumes that prolonged contiguity naturally led to personal relationships and that segregation imposed on communities, together with differences in culture and habits, could only restrain, but not prevent, such contacts. These, in turn, naturally implied material and immaterial exchanges. The acquisition of goods and items arriving both from Europe and the Empire, the experience of different customs, traditions, culinary habits, and the diffusion of new fashions and tastes became a characteristic of daily life in the Echelles du Levant, as the French named their comptoirs in the southern and eastern Mediterranean. Furthermore, personal relationships helped to build social networks, which constituted an ever more effective channel both for business and for conveying new cultural references and identities. In this context, women played a pivotal role, having more direct and intimate contact with French men as lovers, concubines, or wives.1 1 Marie-Carmen Smyrnelis, Une société hors de soi: identité et relations sociales à Smyrne aux XVIII e et XIX e siècles
