The Accounts of a Genoese Aqueduct: Tapping into the Social History of Water in Medieval Cities
This paper will focus on the sole surviving book of accounts of an aqueduct from fourteenth-century Genoa, Italy. It will explore how we can understand the place of water in daily life in medieval cities, and how we can think about the relationship between natural resources, public use and private ownership.
