Abstract

A great deal of historical-geographical and historical-town planning research has reconstructed man’s environmental intervention, the evolution of settlement conditions and the development of productive forces in Italy. Historiography has shown renewed interest in issues such as river and stream regulation, colonisation and land estate transformation, the elimination of malaria and everything encompassed by the wider conception of land reclamation. However, an overview study concentrating on the relationship between management of the environment and the availability of economic resources and the more strictly financial issue, access to credit difficulties and the short and long term commitment of the state and the private sector to bringing work to fruition is still absent. It was only towards the end of the 19th century that a marked change of direction took place, a shift away from a model whose indiscriminate adoption had blocked the implementation of policies attentive to diverse regional conditions and distribution of capital.
