      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>This work starts from one of the most complex issues that the economic operator of the late Middle Ages had to face in order to carry out his activities, namely a constantly up-to-date understanding of the systems of weights and measures in use on the different markets, in order to rationally set their business strategies. The critical analysis of the best-known market practices and of an impressive amount of documents from the business archive of the merchant Francesco Datini  from Prato (common and specialised correspondence, accounting) allowed to identify Genoa’s weight system - a privileged point of view - and to compare it with the systems of other countries, which had an economic relationship with the city. Moreover, it has been possible to define the packaging used , goods by goods, with their relative weights and tares.</p>

        <p>Questo lavoro prende le mosse da uno dei problemi più complessi che l’operatore economico del basso Medioevo doveva affrontare per svolgere le proprie attività, vale a dire la conoscenza aggiornata dei sistemi di pesi e misure in uso sui diversi mercati per impostare razionalmente le proprie strategie commerciali. L’analisi critica delle più note pratiche di mercatura e di una imponente mole di documenti dell’archivio aziendale del mercante pratese Francesco Datini (carteggio comune e specializzato, contabilità) ha consentito di precisare il sistema ponderale di Genova, osservatorio privilegiato, e i suoi rapporti con quelli di altri paesi in relazione economica, unitamente alla definizione, merce per merce, degli imballaggi utilizzati, con i relativi pesi e tare.</p>
