Abstract

The contribution, built mostly on unpublished material, reviews the economic and commercial relations
that existed between Amalfi and Venice throughout the centuries of the Middle Ages, starting from the
earliest evidence, which dates back to the 9th century. Some of these relations did not take place in
Italian waters but in the East (for example in Constantinople or Alexandria), at emporiums frequented by
merchants from both cities. In the centuries of the late Middle Ages, the reciprocal relations change in sign and significance, as the Amalfitans more rarely act on their own while they are mostly hired to perform
transport functions on behalf of the court of Naples and Taranto and sometimes for the Venetians
themselves.
