In this lively comedy of love and money in sixteenth-century Venice, Bassanio wants to impress the wealthy heiress Portia but lacks the necessary funds. He turns to his merchant friend, Antonio, who is forced to borrow from Shylock, a Jewish moneylender. When Antonio's business falters, repayment becomes impossible-and by the terms of the loan agreement, Shylock is able to demand a pound of Antonio's flesh. Portia cleverly intervenes, and all ends well (except of course for Shylock).

La littérature sur le crédit à l’époque moderne s’est souvent focalisée sur les Monts-de-piété, les prêteurs juifs et les notaires, considérés comme le noyau du système de crédit préindustriel. Cependant, pour la majorité des habitants des villes de l’Ancien Régime, le besoin presque quotidien d’obtenir de petits prêts était satisfait par d’autres voies, moins connues mais tout aussi fondamentales pour la fragile économie des couches populaires. En utilisant des sources d’archives inédites, ce volume analyse l’architecture du marché du crédit à Venise au XVIIIe siècle. Au sein de ce marché, il est apparu que osti (aubergistes) et bastioneri – gestionnaires des bastioni, entrepôts où le vin était vendu à emporter – occupaient une place centrale, à la fois comme fournisseurs de biens de première nécessité et prêteurs sur gage. Ils étaient un point de référence incontournable pour les franges les plus pauvres et vulnérables de la société, les protagonistes de ce que l’auteur appelle « l’économie du mouchoir » (economia del fazzoletto). Chaque année osti et bastioneri prenaient en gage des dizaines de milliers d’objets d’usage quotidien – la vraie « richesse » des pauvres – dans le cadre de transactions à mi-chemin entre crédit et consommation. Les coffres et les armoires des Vénitiens devenaient de véritables réserve de valeur, toujours disponibles pour être exploitées en cas de besoin : il s’agissait d’une ressource fondamentale, qui leur permettait de survivre, un mouchoir à la fois.

The city of Venice, Italy, has been subjected to periodic flooding, or acqua alta, for centuries. Venice Shall Rise Again presents a unique proposition to halt this flooding. Based on years of work and experiment, experts Gambolati and Teatini describe an innovative yet technologically simple, economically inexpensive, and environmentally friendly project to raise Venice by 25-30 cm over ten years by injecting seawater into 650-1000 m deep geological formations. This project would be conducted under conditions of absolute safety, stability and integrity conserving the unique artistic
