La Val d'Ambria verso la polarizzazione sociale. Paesaggio, società ed economia (secoli XIV-XV) (2022)

unapi

This article examines the Val d’Ambria between the fourteenth and the fifteenth centuries. The characteristics and transformations of rural and settled landscapes are analysed through notarial deeds. The study then explores the importance of cattle rearing and metallurgy and especially the social and economic stratification of the inhabitants of the valley. Two main trends have emerged: on the one hand, affluent families, despite maintaining a close economic relationship with their place of origin, decided to leave. Those who continued to live in the valley experienced gradual impoverishment. At the same time, these dynamics are intertwined with the opening of the local economic space which attracted investment from wealthy foreigners who were interested in livestock farming and metallurgy.
