This contribution examines the politics of ancient Italian states with regards to collective property by taking as a starting point two recent monographs on this argument (Alessandro Dani’s work on the state of Siena in Medicean times and Stefano Barbacetto’s work on the Venetian Republic between the 15th and 18th centuries). Whilst the Medicis’initiatives in this sphere were of a limited nature, as from the mid-fifteenth century the Venetian signoria conducted ambitious interventions aimed at acquiring significant shares and reclaiming sovereignty over the common property of the subjected territories. Despite the differences in the approaches adopted, in early modern times central governments increasingly gain interest in collective resources.Downloads
