Abstract

The papal victualling system, the principles of which had initially been outlined at the end of the thirteenth century, materialised in the formation and growth of a centralised and politically-controlled system of circulation of foodstuffs, particularly wheat. This chapter aims to contribute to the debate on food supply and on the role played by victualling systems, focusing attention on wheat circuits and their actors. The failure and the subsequent bankruptcy petition of the Annona in 1805 represented the consequences of maintaining a system that was no longer fit for purpose and could not meet the State’s need for self-transformation; however, it must be added that this was only one financial element amid the collapse of an entire model of economic policy and the diffusion of the liberal principles underlying the new capitalist economic system.
