 Luca Clerici has made a detailed study of Vicenza’s food market during the sixteenth century.He found that there were many different types of reseller operating out of the markets.For example, in the dairy trade, cheese and butter was sold by the members of two craft guilds (i.e., cheesemongers who were shopkeepers) and that of the so-called ‘resellers’ (hucksters selling a wide range of foodstuffs), and by other sellers who were not enrolled in any guild.
