Funded Activity Summary

"These blessed 'censi'": the history of an ignored credit instrument in Florentine economic, social and religious life from 1570 to 1790. The project explores the role of 'Censi', a type of annuity, in the life and economy of Florence from 1570 to 1790. It seeks to demonstrate that 'Censi' made it possible for Florentines to maintain a substantial level of prosperity throughout this period, despite the loss of a long-held leadership in banking, international trade and industry.
