The wages of luxury
The 1960s in Italy saw an explosion in mass tourism but also the development of contested forms of luxury tourism. This article deals with the building of one of the most iconic luxury resorts of the era, the Costa Smeralda on the island of Sardinia, and with the political controversies it raised. Within a few years, the resort put Sardinia on the map of world tourism, drawing the attention of conservationists, who chose it as a symbol of environ…
Love, Honour, and Jealousy
Triangulating Labor, Capital, and Land
In the aftermath of World War II, Italy’s centrist leaders saw in the emerging US empire an opportunity to implement emigration schemes that had been in circulation for decades. Hundreds of thousands of Italian peasant farmers could perhaps be able to settle on Latin American and African land thanks to the contribution of US capital. This article examines the Italian elites’ obsession with rural colonization abroad as the product of their desire …
Pioneers or Mere Labor Force? Post–World War II Italian Rural Migration to Brazil and the Legacies of Colonialism
In the early 1950s, the Italian government experimented with organized rural settlement in Brazil and the rest of Latin America. Part of a general effort to ease Italy’s “overpopulation,” rural settlement abroad had special meanings for both Italian and Brazilian elites. These experiments resonated with the memories of mass emigration at the turn of the twentieth century and with the legacy of colonial settlement in Libya and East Africa. These p…

Valuing place/placing value
Rural Tuscany has become both a paragon of harmonious beauty and a terrain of legal conflict and recrimination. When they do not resort to essentialist notions of taste, many commentators are prone to explain the ‘preservation’ of Tuscany's countryside as the outcome of locally rooted legislative interventions meant to prevent ‘speculation’ and ‘debasement’ (scempio). Tuscany is indeed the site of layers of normative constraints and guidelines, r…

Incorporare la natura

Pp. 335. €24.20. The title of this book, which the author himself would translate as "Embedding Nature," is intended to render in Italian the English-language metaphor of "embeddedness," made famous by Karl Polanyi.

Pyramids of Trust
This article demonstrates the usefulness of the notion of embeddedness to the historical study of Italian industrial districts of small firms and of local economic change more generally. The development of gold jewelry production in two Italian towns, Valenza Po and Arezzo, shows that vertical disintegration was enabled by the creation of networks of heterogeneous social relations. In both towns, social and political ties led to the creation of i…
Do social historians need social capital
Every so often, a concept in the social sciences emerges from humble beginnings and takes on a life of its own, crossing disciplinary boundaries, spanning disparate geographical contexts and linking analytical concerns in the academy with normative agendas in policy circles. The concept of the moment seems to be social capital. Born of some of the most prolific minds in the sociological profession, social capital has come of age in the hands of p…

Negotiating the Gold Standard
Some tourists pursue bargains, others authenticity. Those who choose Italy as their destination expect to find both as they stroll the streets of Rome, Florence, or Venice. Few resist the temptation to bring home considerable booty, often including gold and silver jewelry. But much of the jewelry tourists buy in the showcase cities of Venice and Florence is actually made in towns where tourists rarely venture: Valenza Po in Piedmont, Vicenza in t…
