Now available is “History of Italian Shipbuilding in the Contemporary Era. From Unification to the Giolittian Age (1861–1913),” the first title in the editorial project promoted by the Fincantieri Foundation and dedicated to preserving and promoting the historical and industrial heritage of the sector.
Preserving and enhancing the history of Italian naval engineering as a cultural, industrial, and social asset of the country—making it accessible and shared—is the objective behind the new editorial series promoted by the Fincantieri Foundation, whose first volume is released today.
The book, “History of Italian Shipbuilding in the Contemporary Era. From Unification to the Giolittian Age (1861–1913),” written by Professor Roberto Giulianelli and published by Laterza, inaugurates a five-volume series retracing two centuries of evolution in Italian shipbuilding and the naval engineering industry, highlighting its role in the country’s economic development.
The central theme of the volume is an analysis of the profound transformations that affected Italian shipbuilding from the unification of Italy through the Giolittian era—a historical phase marked by productive modernization, technological innovation, and a redefinition of the nation’s maritime vocation. The book presents a picture of a rapidly evolving sector, facing new opportunities as well as structural challenges within a broader context
