F. Sansovino, Venetia, Città Nobilissima et Singolare, con le Aggiunte di Giustiniano Martinioni, Fillipi Editore, reprint of 1663 edition, 1968, p. 385. 'Quasi tutti hanno le habitationi coperte di nobilissimi razzi, di panni di seta, di corami d'oro ... Perche non è persona così miserabile con casa aperta, che non habbia casse & lettiere di noci, panni Verdi, tapeti, peltri, rami, catenelle d'oro, forchette d'argento, & anella, tale è la politia di questa città.'

For example, Goldthwaite's interpretation suggests that demand for luxuries was driven by the elite, excluding the lower ranks of society from his model, which sees the beginnings of modern consumerism in the fifteenth century. Martines critiques this position for only portraying the life of the wealthiest members of society, arguing that research into the growth in ownership of goods must take closer account of wages, prices and class structures.

Between purchasing power and the world of goods: Understanding the household economy in early modern Europe

J. De Vries, 'Between purchasing power and the world of goods: understanding the household economy in early modern Europe', in J. Brewer & R. Porter (eds.), Consumption and the World of Goods, Routledge, 1993, p. 104. John Styles' critique of mass-consumption in the same volume (pp. 535-12) states that as change in the industrial 'revolution' happened slowly, so it follows that immediate, widespread changes in consumer behaviour are just as likely to have occurred over time. Consumption, in this case, should be seen as a matter of gradual acquisition by family groups.

The Ducal palace accounts of March 1591 show that a vote was taken to fund the refurbishment of the 'house of the cavalier', suggesting that the renovations coincided with the appointment of Gnechi (G. Lorenzi, Monumenti per Servire alla Storia del Palazzo Ducale di Venezia Ovvero Serie di Atti Pubblici dal 1253 al 1797 che Variamente lo Riguardano Tratti dai Veneti Archivi, Parte I: 1253 al 1600, Venice, 1868, pp. 525-6).

ASV, GP, Busta 341/6, no. 92, fol. 5. The use of the term cremesin suggests that the fabric was considered to be of the highest order of reds. There was a sophisticated understanding of cloth in Venice, especially when applied to 'reds' - scarlatto tended to describe fine heavy woollen cloth, whereas cremesin related to silks. Cremesin had higher status than scarlatto, revealed by the costume of the Doge, who could only wear the two reds, gold or white; scarlatto, as the most 'humble', was used for mourning (P. Hills, Venetian Colour: Marble, Mosaic, Painting and Glass, 1250-1550, Yale University Press, 1999, pp. 176-80).

The rising value of dowries gave women more power in family politics, forcing husbands to name them as commissaries as a reflection of their rising status. Strategies to preserve the memory of the male, or the integrity of the lineage, included gifting money to widows to prevent their remarriage, a route not taken by Gnechi (S. Chojnacki, Women and Men in Renaissance Venice, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000, pp. 153-68).

in J. Martin & D. Romano eds, Johns Hopkins University Press

There was some difficulty for the legislators of sumptuary laws to prevent the blurring of boundaries between social classes, previously symbolized through the quality of clothing, which may have been further undermined by the second-hand market (see P. Brown, 'Behind the walls: the material culture of Venetian elites', in J. Martin & D. Romano (eds.), Venice Reconsidered: the History and Civilization of an Italian city-state, 1297-1797, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2000).
