Middle AgesAbstract
The aim of this study is to reconsider the residential choices and strategies in property acquisition of the Genoese elites gathered in alberghi during the 15th century on the basis of fiscal sources and in particular of the Possessionum register of 1414. A detailed analysis of the sources and the collected data enable to examine such choices in detail and to underscore the consistency of the real estate property, and the strategies of control of the urban space. Finally, the essay considers some aspects of the management of real estate assets, adding complexity to the assumption that within the alberghi properties were managed pro indiviso.
