Abstract

This paper analyzes the trade networks between the North of Italy and the kingdom of Valencia during the 16th and 17th Centuries. The presence of Genoeses in the Iberian Peninsula and the economic role that they played during this period allowed them to control this commercial traffic with two ways. As for the typology of this trade, diverse manufactured genres were imported towards Valencia, whereas raw materials were exported, principally wools and silks.

Nevertheless, there does not exist a study that approaches the question in all his depth, in spite of the existence of written sources adapted to develop it.

 

Este artículo examina las relaciones comerciales entre el norte de Italia y el Reino de Valencia en el siglo XVI y XVII. La presencia genovesa en la Península Ibérica y el papel económico que jugó durante este periodo le permitió controlar este tráfico mercantil bidireccional. En cuanto a la tipología de este comercio, se importaban hacia Valencia diversos géneros manufacturados, mientras que se exportaban principalmente materias primas, entre las que destacan la lana y la simiente de seda. No obstante, no existe un estudio que aborde la cuestión en toda su profundidad, a pesar de la existencia de fuentes adecuadas para desarrollarlo.
