Marco Spallanzani is an economic historian who previously taught economic history at the University of Florence. For some time he has conducted research in the Tuscan archives on the production and trade of goods considered to be ‘minor arts,’ examining, through various products from the east, the moment of their importation from the lands of Islam or faraway China. He has published articles on the presence of these much sought-after furnishings (in particular Chinese porcelain, Italian Maiolica and Islamic metal) by the Medici and the most important families of the 14th–16th centuries. He has also edited an edition of Medici family inventories of the quattrocento (15th century).
