Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed set of rules, procedures, and guidelines established in 1608 to govern the pious institution of the Monte di Pieta in Rovigo, Italy. The text represents a thoroughgoing reform of the Monte di Pieta, originally founded in 1491. Having fallen into disarray and become susceptible to abuses and malfeasance, the institution's governing body commissioned the author to survey the institution's operations and propose an overhaul of its governance. The author's recommendations, approved by Veniceâs senate in 1608 and presented here, established new mechanisms for electing administrators, managing accounts, handling security and collateral, and resolving disputes in order to re-establish sound financial practices and ethical oversight. This document represents not only a historical record of the inner workings of an important financial institution in 17th century Italy but also a fascinating case study of how civic authorities sought to balance the need for strict financial management with the obligation to serve the needs of the poor through a charitable vehicle.
