Abstract

The second chapter provides a quantitative framework: first, how much was the population in the various regions and states that composed the Early Modern Italian peninsula? Given this number, in a diachronic perspective, the other two elements will be fundamental in the analysis: how the urbanisation rate changed across time and geographical areas and how much work force was available. These variables are fundamental in order to understand why labour had specific characteristics in specific areas or why these characteristics changed across time. Early modern Italy was a mixture of quite different demographical and “residential” situations that affected—together with other geographical, social, and economic elements—the organisation of work and the life of the workers.
