In the early eighteenth century the comercialization of raw silks operated within a long-established, highly competitive, and fast-expanding market, linking scores of specialized production áreas spread across the entire world. Competition was very active at all levels of the world market. The small Kingdom of Savoy, in northern Italy, was acknowledged for the perfection of its reeling technologies and its silks dominated the world market from the late seventeeth to the early nineteenth century. Governments often adopted political economies similar to the ones of the Kingdom of Savoy in order to upgrade their productions and compete in the world market. Technological transfers and the emigration of experts and artisans from the Kingdom of Savoy to the other production areas of the Euro-Asian and American continents became frequent in the late eighteenth century. This chapter deals with these technological transfers, emigrations and imported politics and with the impact they had on the pre-existing local producers' economies.
