From Railways to Aircraft: Officine Meccaniche Reggiane’s Successful Product Transition in the 1930s
In 1936 Gianni Caproni, one of the biggest aircraft producers in Italy, bought one of the biggest engineering companies in Emilia Romagna, the Officine Meccaniche Reggiane, and started manufacturing and exporting some of the topmost fighters ever produced in Italy. Based on different archival sources this paper would like to shed light on why, despite a national technological obsolescence in the field a company, which focused on the production of…
From one crisis to another: The European central bank’s role from the great recession to the Ukraine war
The paper examines the changing role of the European Central Bank over the last 15 years and holds that the ECB has gone through a process of learning by doing, relying on earlier crisis experiences in forming its response to successive crises. This learning process has enabled it to sustain the euro countries against various exogenous shocks both within the power of its mandate and beyond it, implementing novel reforms. We argue, in fact, that c…
A geographic and social profile of Italy's great migration (1876–1913)
This article sheds light on Italian emigration flows with a focus on their geographical origins in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, that is, during the so‐called Great Migration. Annual province‐level data on Italian emigration are analysed in order to reconstruct the regional origins of emigrants, the factors motivating their decisions, their gender, and their literacy levels. The regions generating the largest population outflows were lo…
The Italian State's Active Support for the Aeronautical Industry: The Case of the Caproni Group, 1910–1951
Based on Italian and foreign archival sources, this study shows how Italy's active assistance to its industrial apparatus soon included the newly born aircraft industry, including the Caproni Group. However, after World War II the Group went bankrupt along with most aircraft manufacturers. The suspension of aircraft development, the preference for importing allied (American and British) aircraft for civil airlines, and the denial of international…
Economic and Social Perspectives on European Migration
The ‘Duce hometown effect’ on local industrial development: The case of Forlì
The history of fascist intervention and rescue in support of Italian banks and firms (either through nationalisation or direct aid) in the inter-war years is well known. The case of Forlì adds an important piece of information to the broad literature on state-sponsored development. Benito Mussolini was born in Predappio, a small village in the Apennines in the province of Forlì. And Forlì was meant to become ‘la città del Duce’ (‘the Duce’s homet…
The economic bases of migration from Italy: The distinct cases of Tunisia and Libya (1880s-1960s)
The objective of this essay is to offer an original contribution to the issue of \nItalian migration to Africa from a historical-economic perspective. Our \nresearch will consider the motivations that led many Italians to emigrate to \nTunisia and Libya and, secondly, it will explore what was the return path from \nTunisia and Libya for Italian emigrants. The cases discussed investigate two \ndifferent realities of Italian emigration, a ‘free’ mi…
Economic fears of mass migration from southern Italy in early twentieth century America
Economic fears in the early twentieth century America about Italian immigration united trade unions and white collar workers and were motivated by reasons that ranged from the belief that migrants were disrupting the labour market and were temporary opportunist earners, unwilling to integrate and living in isolated communities, to the idea that southern Italians did not offer sufficient human capital: they were mainly illiterate, and had high dro…
Storia economica delle migrazioni italiane
Il libro studio l'emigrazione italiana dal punto di vista economico, illustrando da un lato le ragioni e gli effetti della creazione di un mercato internazionale del lavoro, dall'altro indagando la dimensione organizzativa in tutti i suoi aspetti. Le approfondite ricerche archivistiche e l'elaborazione dei dati su base provinciale, ne fanno un lavoro altamente innovativo
L'emigrazione italiana nell'Africa mediterranea 1876-1914
Il saggio intende, da un lato, presentare una sintesi della letteratura relativa all’emigrazione italiana verso l’Africa mediterranea e, dall’altro, dare un contributo originale a livello quantitativo dei flussi migratori dalle province e dalle regioni italiane verso la Tunisia, l’Egitto e l’Algeria, le principali mete dell’emigrazione italiana in Africa. Perche gli italiani erano attratti in particolare dai paesi dell’Africa mediterranea? Le ris…
The History of Migration in Europe: Perspectives from Economics, Politics and Sociology
The Great transatlantic migration has been scholarly interpreted adopting different and multidisciplinary patters. ‘Why’ Europeans emigrated has always been considered more important than ‘how’ they moved. This article intertwines migration and maritime history and draws on the most updated maritime historiography. It argues that, since the 1880s to the outbreak of WWI, passenger steamship companies, and the extended and multifaceted maritime net…
Italians in Africa (1870s–1914), or How to Escape Poverty and Become a Landowner
From 1902 to 1907 Italian emigration to Africa reached its peak with an average of 12,770 emigrants per year. Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia were the main countries of destination and immigration had grown from previous decades thanks to well established ‘migration chains’. Information about opportunities and remittances from previous emigrants helped the poor siblings and friends left behind with their moves. Extremely poor Southern farmers and an …
Surviving in the Global Market: ‘Americanisation’ and the Relaunch of Italy's Car Industry after the Second World War
This contribution sheds light on the successful recovery strategies developed by the Italian car industry after the Second World War and in particular the ‘innovation through creative imitation policy’ that characterised its relationship with American producers. This policy was feasible because the Italian car sector, and Fiat in particular, was fairly well prepared to measure itself against the American model and aimed at technology-transfer-bas…
Il Piano Marshall e l'Italia
Questo studio, basato su una ricerca originale condotta negli archivi italiani, statunitensi e inglesi, descrive nei suoi molteplici aspetti la genesi e la realizzazione del Piano Marshall. Esso costituì di fatto la precondizione del miracolo economico: strumento di modernizzazione strutturale dell'industria, favorì grandemente lo sviluppo del settore siderurgico, elettrico e meccanico, ma ebbe anche un ruolo rilevante nel diffondere una più mode…
The rise of a service-based economy and its transformation: Seaside tourism and the case of Rimini
This article examines the birth and development of Rimini's tourism district. We analyse the origins of the hoteliers in this Italian seaside resort and construct a database on the first wave of registered hoteliers (1929–1939) and on their social, geographic and economic background. We then investigate the transition from services to industry. The following sections analyse the influence of tourism growth and construction demand on the developme…
What Italian business disliked about a European common market
The possibility of enlarging Italy’s export market was the key factor that made industrialists repeatedly express their consent for a unified market, even in their earliest statements on the matter. The great majority of Italian business declared itself in favour of a united market dependent upon a given set of conditions: gradual abolition of tariffs, leveling of production costs among members, free circulation of workers (as well as of goods an…
The “Economic Miracle” and Italy’s Chemical Industry, 1950-1965: A Missed Opportunity
The chemical industry was a leading sector in Italy’s “economic miracle,” but after remarkable growth in the 1950s, it declined in the next decade. Montecatini rose to a dominant position in inorganic chemicals and fertilizers in the 1950s, but its quasi-monopoly of traditional chemicals was soon challenged, first by the state-owned Eni and then by Edison, one of Italy’s giant electric power companies, which was diversifying into new sectors. The…
The Role of Fiat in the Development of the Italian Car Industry in the 1950's
During the 1950's, Fiat, one of Italy's most important manufacturing companies, grew at enormous speed. Two factors helped the car maker achieve this impressive performance: For one, a set of import barriers virtually denied foreign producers access to the Italian market until the founding of the European Economic Community (EEC). Moreover, Fiat managed to remain at the cutting edge of car manufacturing technology, enabling it to expand productio…
