Map Renaissance Italy
Who did Italy trade with in the Renaissance and what?
I need help with a project for history and so far I’ve found that Italy traded with the Islamic Middle East, the Byzantine empire, China and India. But I don’t know what they traded and I can’t find a map of the trade routes! Help plz!
First of all there was no “Italy” at the time but a number of independent Italian city states.
If you look on a map you’ll see that Italy was ideally located to trade between the East and the West.
So basically they imported products from the East and sold them to Western Europe (the reverse was also true).
So the Italian merchants chiefly traded with Egypt during the Renaissance. Byzance had been a major client during the Middle Ages but was not doing that well during the early Renaissance. After the fall of Constantinople, the Venetians would move in the Ottoman Empire chiefly in Istanbul and Aleppo. Lesser trades were also conducted with North Africa. China and India were not commonly reached by the Italian merchants themselves although numerous Chinese and Indian wares found their way to Europe through the Muslim world.
In the West, the Italian merchants’ strongholds were Lisbon, Antwerp, Bruge, London and Dantzig. But nearly every major urban center had some Italian traders. The Genoese went as far as investing in the first sugar plantations in Madeira and the Azores.
It is also important to remember that the Italian businessmen (mostly Genoese) often behaved as middlemen for trades that did not go through Italy. For instance they brought Spanish wool to Northern Europe.
Some of the most important stuff traded were the goods from the East: silk, spices, etc. They were also involved in the spreading of the Florentine or Venetian wares all over Europe (cloth mainly but also glass). They also traded wine and foodstuff (from the Greek islands first and then from Madeira). Finally they were also involved in bulk trade: wool, wood, grain, etc.
It is also important to remember that there was no clear difference between a trader and a banker at the time. So many Italians were involved in lending moeny, often very large sums to the kings and bishops. So you could say that cash was another commodity they delt with.

Invitation to Renaissance Italy $36.88 1930. With a Preface by Gilbert Murray. The Renaissance is often seen as an age of melodrama and villainy. This book makes you see with new intensity the light bearers who were neither melodramatic nor villainous, but men of virtue and therefore interesting: such, for instance, as Vittorio da Feltre among the children at La Giocosa, or the school of educators whose aim lay in communicating to youth the beauty of the past; or, most characteristic of all, the people of Castigliones Courtier, a group which might have walked out of the pages of Plutarch or St. Augustine, seekers by the lamp of Plato for that unattainable perfection which should at last give peace to the soul. Contents: The Mediaeval Dream and the Renaissance Morning; Social and Political Conditions; Intellectual Contrasts and Reconciliations; The Scholar; The Artist; The Courtier; Women of the Renaissance; Florence 143414941530; The Papacy and the Renaissance; The End of the Italian Renaissance; and The Renaissance Ferment. Author: Taylor, Rachel Annand/ Murray, Gilbert Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 396 Publication Date: 2005/06/01 Language: English Dimensions: 9.00 x 6.00 x 0.88 inches |
