Main Article Content

Xevi Camprobí

The Mediterranean sea was an important way of communication between Catalonia and Italy. The harbour of Barcelona was a permanent point of traffic of ships from Genoa, Naples, Sardinia or Sicily, which, as well as people and goods, used to carry information, written or oral. The sea connection, combined with an efficient postal system and, often, with the use of printing, aided the circulation of news related to the events that took place in Europe, mainly about wars.
