Chapter Chapter 4 in Work in Early Modern Italy, 1500–1800, 2019, pp 67-103 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The fourth chapter will analyse labour from the point of view of labour relations. In other words, who were the workers and how they engaged with their employers? First, the chapter will underline the difference between skilled and unskilled workers, their different working conditions, and their different “agency”. Second, labour relations will be analysed from the point of view of remuneration and, broadly, of contractual conditions. Finally, the chapter will engage the “conflictual” element in labour relations: which were the forms of opposition between workers and employers in the Early Modern Italy? Were they collective or individual? Violent or mediated by specific magistrates? How the agency of workers affected labour relations and what was its characterisation?
