Abstract
Abstract The article explores the transformations that occurred in Lombardy's extractive peripheries, which supplied wood for trade and manufacturing purposes, from the last decades of the eighteenth century to the Italian national unification. In this period, the management of Lombardy's woodland heritage emerged as an issue of strategic concern, with economic, social and environmental consequences. The aim of this contribution is to outline the causes and effects of the increasing demand for wood in ancien régime Lombardy, focusing on the role played by this resource in influencing the relations between the political, urban and economic centres of the region and the extractive peripheries supplying the raw material.
