This study explores social mobility in Tuscany from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age, focusing on the methodologies and interdisciplinary perspectives that have renewed interest in this historiographical theme. Building on the analysis of a number of communities in the Florentine countryside on the basis of tax registers, in particular the estimi for the late Middle Ages and the Decima granducale for the period from the 16th to the 18th century, the research aims to understand the the dynamics and possible determinants of socio-economic mobility, challenging the notion of a rigidly structured ancien régime society.
