EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Market at the Gate of Ravenna in Bologna: A Snapshot of 15th Century Economic Life" This frontispiece, hailing from the Codex Marticola dei Mercanti, offers a glimpse into the bustling market scene at the Gate of Ravenna in Bologna during the 15th century. The intricately detailed miniature painting, housed in Bologna's Museo Civico, transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the vibrant economic activity that thrived in the heart of medieval Italy. The Market at the Gate of Ravenna was a significant commercial hub, where merchants from various regions gathered to exchange goods. The painting showcases a diverse array of street traders, each engaged in their respective transactions. Some are haggling over prices, while others are carefully weighing or inspecting their wares. The lively atmosphere is further accentuated by the presence of animals, which are tethered nearby, ready to be traded or transported to their new homes. The Codex Marticola dei Mercanti, compiled in 1470, was an essential guide for merchants, providing them with valuable information on weights, measures, and prices. This frontispiece serves as an illustrative preface to the codex, offering a visual representation of the economic practices and societal structures of the time. The Market at the Gate of Ravenna in Bologna is a testament to the rich history of trade and commerce in Italy during the Middle Ages. The painting not only provides valuable insights into the economic life of the 15th century but also offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily routines and interactions of the people who shaped this period in history.
