The book analyses the role of private bankers who were pivotal in
modernizing the economic and financial system of Italy in the XIX
century. To achieve this they needed to interact with the
international haute banque to organize and place the public loans
and the large investments associated with the joint-stock
companies. The theme of reputation, which is currently at the
centre of the historiographical debate, is fundamental for the
study of the private banker figures, whose professional success is
linked to the limitless trust accorded to them by their circle of
personal contacts. Historiography has studied the role of Italian
bankers in the trade, credit and international finance during the
modern age (XVI-XVIII centuries), but it has not analysed the
banking system in the XIX century and its national and
international relations. The case study of Banca Parodi of Genova
fills the historiographical gap concerning the role of private
bankers and banking institutions in Italy, highlighting the network
between the Parodi family and the international haute banque; one
of the most emblematic cases is the Rothschild family. The book
presents a re-elaborates series of unpublished data, placing them
at the disposal of the scientific community and analyses the role
of private bankers in the development of Italian banking
institutions in the XIX century to launch a scientific debate.
