Abstract
The “Le Vie dei Mercanti” Forum is now in its tenth edition. I would like to recall the reasons for the title, chosen the first time ten years ago to address the climate of cultural fervor that during the Renaissance, through its calculations, inventions and economics managed to define a new way ante litteram to combine scientific research and business. The merchants, in the middle of the fifteenth century, at the margin of international trade, united research and training in new ways, realising the value of the territory as a resource, promoting the redevelopment and reclamation of wasteland. [1] Luca Pacioli, a versatile figure and best known as author of the essay De Divine Proportione, as tutor to the Venetian family of merchants, Rompiasi, invented the double entry in order to not only create a language to be shared by both researchers and the outside world but also to produce wealth and assets by applying the concepts of proportion and proportionality to economic development.
