The Mediterranean Sea has been a dynamic crossroad for people, goods, and ideas for thousands of years. Beginning with the medieval commercial revolution to modern rebellions, we will examine the historical patterns of political development, trade and economic growth, migration and cultural change, war and conflict that shaped French and Italian maritime cities, colonies and global networks from Venice to Livorno, Marseille to Algiers.
