Abstract

The article explores the transformations that occurred in Lombardy's extractive peripheries, which supplied wood for trade and manufacturing purposes, from the last decades of the eighteenth century to the Italian national unification. In this period, the management of Lombardy's woodland heritage emerged as an issue of strategic concern, with economic, social and environmental consequences. The aim of this contribution is to outline the causes and effects of the increasing demand for wood in ancien régime Lombardy, focusing on the role played by this resource in influencing the relations between the political, urban and economic centres of the region and the extractive peripheries supplying the raw material.

期刊介绍： The half-yearly journal Global Environment: A Journal of History and Natural and Social Sciences acts as a forum and echo chamber for ongoing studies on the environment and world history, with special focus on modern and contemporary topics. Our intent is to gather and stimulate scholarship that, despite a diversity of approaches and themes, shares an environmental perspective on world history in its various facets, including economic development, social relations, production government, and international relations. One of the journal’s main commitments is to bring together different areas of expertise in both the natural and the social sciences to facilitate a common language and a common perspective in the study of history. This commitment is fulfilled by way of peer-reviewed research articles and also by interviews and other special features. Global Environment strives to transcend the western-centric and ‘developist’ bias that has dominated international environmental historiography so far and to favour the emergence of spatially and culturally diversified points of view. It seeks to replace the notion of ‘hierarchy’ with those of ‘relationship’ and ‘exchange’ – between continents, states, regions, cities, central zones and peripheral areas – in studying the construction or destruction of environments and ecosystems.
