In 1483, the Italian merchant Fattinelli issued a bill of exchange in favor of Pere Bartomeu, canon of Barcelona, \u200b\u200band other members of his family, among them a notary from Vilafranca. This seemingly technical document is actually a key piece to understanding the sophistication of financial practices that were already circulating in Europe at the end of the 15th century. The bill of exchange, a forerunner of modern credit, allowed money to be transferred at a distance without the risk of physical transport, and was essential for international trade. Its presence in Catalonia demonstrates the country’s integration into European economic circuits and the direct influence of the Italian models, pioneers in banking and finance. This document tells us about an open, connected and modern Catalonia, which adopted and adapted European innovations to boost its economic and institutional development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13908,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"eix":[26],"class_list":["post-12878","document","type-document","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","eix-els-motors-economics"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nItalian bill of exchange - Catalunya Pa\u00eds d'Arxius<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/catalunyapaisdarxius.cat\/en\/catalunyapaisdarxius\/digital-resource\/resource\/document\/lletra-de-canvi-italiana\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Italian bill of exchange - Catalunya Pa\u00eds d'Arxius\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"In 1483, the Italian merchant Fattinelli issued a bill of exchange in favor of Pere Bartomeu, canon of Barcelona, \u200b\u200band other members of his family, among them a notary from Vilafranca.
