The law on intelectual property rights that the government of Venice issued in 1574 is still today considered the ancestor of the current patent system. By recognizing that inventors and innovators were entitled to special privileges that would protect their technical discoveries, the Venetian government set a standard for granting monopoly rights for new machines, devices and godos that was son followed by most European states. This essay concentrates on the variety of technical solutions proposed and patented in Renaissance Italy, on the marketing and economic exploitation of the invention that received a state privilege, and on the creation of an intelectual climate favourable to innovation. all these elements are then exemplifed through a case study focused on an international company involved in the recycling of industrial waste. It is claimed that during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the conception of technical innovations changed radically, becoming something on which to invest time and resources in a synergy that involved both public institutions and private individuals. If judged from the point of view of technological development, therefore, Renaissance, Italy maintains its traditional label as a laboratory of modernity.
