Popis:	The article examines the places, times and spaces dedicated to the free market in Apulia during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The primary documents consulted for this article indicate a significant increase in the regional fair circuit, starting from the reign of Frederick II. The increase in the number of fairs (divided between major and minor) inevitably favoured the development of the local and regional economy. Trade fairs, the focus of this article, represented the main opportunity for regular exchanges and the buying and selling of consumer goods. They allowed agricultural producers to sell their products, offering a variety of different goods from handicraft products to agricultural surplus.
