Abstract


The first relations of the Italian merchants with Syria-Palestina begin before the Crusades but were expanded after 1098.The author studies how the Italians settled in the Holy Land: who were they, when did they receive their concessions, where were established the colonies they were given in the various States founded in the Holy Land. The privileges they were granted are examined: immunity from taxes, financial concessions and real estates. Toe shipping, the investments and the nature of the trading activities demonstrate how mythical is the close link between the crusades and the growth of the Levant trade in the Middle Ages.
