Abstract

Following the discovery of the sea route to India, the considerable stream of Italian merchants into Lisbon gave place to a necessary intervention of diplomacy of the different states of the Italian peninsula, aiming at preserving certain privileges for their merchants, as well as their possessions and their ships. The analysis provided by the Venetian merchant Giovanni Dall’Olmo of his long experience in the Portuguese capital depicts the well- structured and rigid hierarchy of the Venetian diplomacy of the 16th century.
