The essay proposes a focus on the role played by the port in Livorno in trade connected to the production and commerce of silk textiles in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Substantial shipments from China stand out, likewise textiles imported from Naples and immediately sailed towards other destinations, while the silk manufacturers in Lucca, despite their ongoing conflicts with the grand-ducal State, exploited the opportunities offered by the port in Livorno both for the import of crude silk and the export of their textiles, even if limited to the more current ranges.
