Abstract
  • There is little literature on the history of maritime insurance in the Kingdom of Naples. Among the most significant works on this important topic that can help us comprehend the commercial role of a Kingdom considered as a crossroads in the Mediterranean is the still valid book written by G. Cassandro (1959) 50 years ago on the origins of insurance contracts in Naples. Among the most recent works are the books on the 17th century by M. Sirago (1992, 2004), on the 18th century by F. Assante (1979, 1997) and the work on the anonymous companies in the first half of the 19th century by N. Ostuni (1986), along with some indirect research carried out by scholars - G. Aliberti (1975), J. Davis (1979) and L. De Matteo (1984, 1997) - who have closely researched the economy and more in general the business activities. The same is for Sicily, which we will not deal with specifically, limiting our research to continental Southern Italy, and on which some references, above all regarding the medieval and modern periods, are present in books by M. del Treppo (1957, 1958), R. Lentini (1992) and A. Giuffrida (1983), and the 19th century by Lentini (2004) and M. D'Angelo (1988). The problems involved in researching insurance history in the Kingdom of Naples, especially when a historical economic approach is followed, such as enquiring about who represented the supply and demand of this service, the impact of the market on the people involved in this sector, the role of the State, the history of one of the insurance companies, are attributable to the difficulties of finding firsthand documentation. And the cause of lack of documentation is ascribed to the historic characteristics of this institute, left to the free market and therefore to private investors, apart from the half-century hiatus of the 'Real Compagnia di assicurazione marittime', whose archives, although egregiously researched by Assante, still leave ample space for more research by other scholars. My paper will not deal with the nomen iuris of the insurance contract, that is the nature of the contract attributed by moralists and jurists, but it will present, first, a brief history of the institute, and then some specific cases for each of the five historical segments that can be identified in the history of maritime insurance in Southern Italy. The first segment goes from the application of the Barcellona Ordinances in the 15th century to the promulgation of the 1622 decree; the second segment regards the period between 1622 and the founding of the 'Real Compagnia di assicurazioni marittime' in 1751; the third covers the fifty years during which the Company operated until it closed in 1802; the fourth the period up to the Unification of Italy; and the fifth the post-unification period until the end of the 19th century.
