Abstract

The article highlights the relationship between the spreading of luxury consumption in Naples during the 18th century, the integration of international markets, and the political attempts to establish indigenous substitute manufactures. The exotic taste for the new luxury, condemned by local economists as the main reason for the weakness of Neapolitan economy, because of its growing dependence on imports, is tested on a sample of post-mortem inventories. This source, widely used in historical research about material culture in the early modern period, sometimes contains information about both imported luxuries and indigenous “foreign style” goods, showing at a micro level the effects of that growing globalization of taste and market, that the central policy unsuccessfully tried to contain.
