Summary/Abstract: This article will attempt to systematize the different views about the involvement of Venice and Venetians in the food trade in Dalmatia and Istria according to evidence from the city statutes from the region dated to the 13th‑15th century. The evidence reviewed deals with the production, import or export of foodstuffs, their wholesale or retail trade, the imposition of various taxes and duties, the uniformity of the measures and weights used, etc. In general, the regulations imposed in the city statutes depend on the degree of interdependence between Venice and the city concerned. They could be in Venice’s advantage or disadvantage.
