Lombardy, with about 10 million inhabitants, is today the most
populated and prosperous region of Italy, and Milan is a renowned
capital of art, fashion and design. During the 19th century until
WWI, the region gradually became the leader in Italy's economic
development and distinguished itself in the European economic
landscape for its long-standing industrial strength and diversified
economy, which included one of the Europe's most productive
agricultural systems. It was the economic locomotive of
contemporary Italy, contributing to the economic Risorgimento that
complemented the country's political resurgence. The present volume
gathers the contributions of some major experts on the subject,
providing an in-depth analysis of Lombardy's pattern of
development, consisting of an exceptionally symbiotic and balanced
interplay of sectors (agriculture, industry, trade, and banking) in
a gradual yet steady growth process, also supported by progress in
the education system. During the century, there was a shift away
from an economy based on agriculture and commerce to a
progressively more industrial economy and this process accelerated
from the 1880s. The secret of this dynamic balance was Lombardy's
active relationship with the rest of Europe and with the
international markets. Aimed at scholars, researchers and students
in the fields of early modern and modern history, economic and
social history, the book provides a clear explanation of Lombardy's
economic development during the long 19th Century.
