Abstract
One of the most significant topics in the economic history research is the impact that warfarw had on economic performance and its relationships with the military potential of countries and the struggle for the world egemony. The development of the shipbuilding activities provoked the increasing demand for more advanced and organised structures where it was possible to build, repair and arm the ships. These 'houses of crafts' represented the first form of preindustrial organization. The production of ships in the Mediterranean world often occurred in impressively-scaled shipyards, where it was possible realize the entire cycle of production, factories ante litteram.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
