      <abstract xml:lang="en">
        <p>The distribution of consumer goods in medieval and modern Europe was multifaceted and involved different spaces and actors. In fairs and markets, every type of food and items necessary for daily life were sold in the bigger and smaller workshops of the cities. There were also countless small street vendors who kept bench on the street, as well as peasants who came to the city to offer the products of their gardens and chicken coop, as well as hunting or farming products, which they sold knocking from door to door. Street vendors also travelled the less frequented streets carrying their bales and chests, reaching scattered villages and hamlets. A great multiplicity of economic actors who competed together to reach every type of consumer, from the wealthiest to the most humble. The aim of the research project was to understand the economic organisation and evolution of these different forms of retail trade. In terms of results, the contributions collected in this volume constitute the most historiographically updated answer to some of the proposed questions, such as the analysis of the links between the various spatial scales (from the shop to the European networks of itinerant merchants), formal and informal trade between rule and practice, the displacement of goods between the city and the countryside, the tensions between the actors of these exchanges, their rivalries and their agreements, but also the expectations of consumers and the needs of the state, the effects on institutional organisation and on distribution trades organisation in the period between the Middle Ages and the eighteenth century.</p>

        <p>La distribuzione dei beni di consumo nell’Europa medievale e moderna era multiforme e coinvolgeva spazi e attori diversi. Nelle fiere e nei mercati, nelle botteghe più o meno grandi delle città si vendeva ogni tipo di derrate alimentari e di oggetti necessari alla vita quotidiana. Erano anche innumerevoli i piccoli ambulanti che tenevano banco per strada, i contadini che raggiungevano la città per offrire i prodotti dei loro orti o del pollaio, della caccia o della raccolta spontanea, passando di casa in casa. Mercanti ambulanti percorrevano con le loro balle e casse anche le vie meno frequentate, raggiungendo villaggi e frazioni disperse. Una grande molteplicità di attori economici che concorrevano assieme a raggiungere ogni tipo di consumatore, dai più agiati ai più umili.
L’obiettivo del progetto di ricerca è stato quello di comprendere l’organizzazione economica e l’evoluzione di queste diverse forme di commercio al minuto. Sul piano dei risultati, i contributi raccolti in questo volume costituiscono la risposta storiograficamente più aggiornata ad alcune delle questioni proposte, come l’analisi dei legami tra le diverse scale spaziali (dalla bottega alle reti europee di mercanti ambulanti), del commercio formale e informale tra regola e pratica, della circolazione dei beni fra città e campagna, delle tensioni fra gli attori di questi scambi, le loro rivalità e i loro accordi, ma anche le attese dei consumatori e le esigenze dello stato, e degli effetti sull’organizzazione istituzionale e dei mestieri della distribuzione nel periodo compreso fra il Medioevo e il XVIII secolo.</p>
