During the last few years, research conducted on the Italian property tax records (estimi) has led to the identification of relatively rare cases when these sources include good-quality information about occupations across society. Combined with other, more sporadic sources, the estimi allow us to get an impression of the occupational structures prevailing in different Italian regions and epochs, from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. Additionally, as the same sources also allow to establish the relative wealth of different households, it is possible to explore the occupations prevailing across different social-economic strata: beginning with the rich, who are those for whom we have the most complete information.​
