El maíz en Italia, siglos XVI-XIX: precios, mercados y haciendas agrícolas (dos casos de estudio: Lombardía y Umbría)

Abstract: El presente estudio tiene por objetivo presentar algunos aspectos clave que nos ayuden a comprender la introducción y expansión del maíz en Lombardía y Umbría en los siglos XVI y XIX, dos regiones emblemáticas en lo que concierne a su historia en Italia. El trabajo utiliza material de archivo inédito para comprobar la validez de una serie de presupuestos de investigación. En primer lugar, la cronología de la introducción del nuevo cultivo, un proceso histórico que, sin duda, implicó la acuñación de nuevas pala… Show more

“…Nonetheless, maize became a steady presence in the Orvieto market only after 1813 (Graph 4). This timeline is the same as in the nearby cities of Tuscany (Mocarelli and Vaquero Piñeiro 2018) where maize trade also took hold around the end of the eighteenth century: since 1780 in Sarteano, 1793 in Castiglione Fiorentino, and 1802 in Cortona. Once established that maize entered Umbria's market during the eighteenth century and took hold there in the transition to the nineteenth century, it is important to verify its presence in individual city markets and to determine in which period it started to actually be cultivated in local farms.…”

“…The first question to be answered pertained to the chronology and geography of the diffusion of maize in the countries considered. Although it is a well-known fact that the diffusion of maize followed a west to east direction starting from Spain, a full and comparative overview of the spread of this plant is still lacking; we can mainly count on researches carried out at a narrower regional scale, also in the case of Italy (Coppola 1979, Levi 1979, Fornasin 1999, Gasparini 2002Mocarelli, Vaquero Piñeiro 2018). The countries between the eastern Alps and the eastern Adriatic coast, addressed in this volume, represent the ideal extension of such a west-east maize diffusion route.…”

“…This is a really crucial issue since there is evidence that not all forms of land ownership and types of contracts favoured the introduction of maize cultivation. Thus, for example, in central Italy the predominance of a sharecropping system would appear to have made the adoption of maize more problematic than in northern Italy (Mocarelli, Vaquero Piñeiro 2018). Moreover, equally relevant in order to explain the ways in which the diffusion of maize took place seems to be the cultural dimension, that is to say the attitude of peasants with regard to this new crop (Gentilcore 2017).…”
