Treaties on the trade of wood are disseminated in Italy only from the affirmation of the industrial economy of wood. The small treatise by Angelo Guernieri (1862) focuses on the many difficulties that characterize each single segment of the timber production chain, also typical of the pre-industrial economy. The paper analyses risk factors for timber traders in the Eastern Alps. By describing the individual segments of the timber supply chain, the most problematic ones will be identified: deforestation and transport. Two cases of timber merchant families will be analysed, reconstructing their role in the communities where they operated and the role of kinship in risk prevention.
