During the medieval era and Renaissance, Venice was a unique trading place, a worldwide hub between Europe, the Mediterranean, Persia, India, and even the Far East, most notably through the famous Silk Roads. Venice’s markets offered a wide range of products of all kinds, raw material as well as processed items. All these goods were brought to Venice on seas, rivers, or on land before being redistributed elsewhere. Venice also had a solid local industry, especially textiles. Among the most valuable goods were woolen textiles, drapery and ores from the North, silk and cotton from the Middle East and Egypt, and porcelain and pearls from China. But the most beneficial was probably the spice trade starting with pepper, a most sought-after resource.
