Abraham Sandol was a merchant originally from Neuchâtel who landed in Naples in 1734, where he remained until the end of his days in December 1755. The traces of his story provide an inside view of the workings of markets and the contradictions of mercantilism, the progress of commercial society in the economy of privilege and the inextricable entanglements between the spaces of institutions and the games of exchange.
