Touring a Unified Italy, Part 2 by John F
Browsing the Web: Touring A Unified Italy, Part 2 by John F. Dunn We left off last month on our tour of Italy—commemo- rating the 150th Anniversary of the Unification of the na- tion—with a relaxing stop on the island of Sardinia. This “Browsing the Web” was in- spired by the re- lease by Italy of two souvenir sheets to celebrate the Unifi- cation. Since then, on June 2, Italy released eight more souvenir sheets de- picting patriots of the Unification as well as a joint issue with San Marino (pictured here, the Italian issue) honoring Giuseppe and Anita Garibaldi, Anita being the Brazilian wife and comrade in arms of the Italian lead- er. The sheet also commemorates the 150th Anniversary of the granting of San Marino citizen- ship to Giuseppe Garibaldi. As we continue heading south, I reproduce again the map from Part 1 of this article.

So…moving right along (and still in the north), we next come to Parma, which also is one of the Italian States that issued its own pre-Unification era stamps. Modena Modena was founded in the 3rd century B.C. by the Celts and later, as part of the Roman Empire and became an important agricultural center. After the barbarian inva- sions, the town resumed its commercial activities and, in the 9th century, built its first circle of walls, which continued throughout the Middle Ages, until they were demolished in the 19th century. -
Efectes Sobre Catalunya De Les Guerres D'itàlia (1717-1719)
Josep M. Torras i Ribé Efectes sobre Catalunya de les guerres d’Itàlia (1717-1719) Resum Les anomenades «guerres d’Itàlia» foren l’intent de Felip V de recuperar les illes de Sardenya i Sicília, arrabassades a la monarquia hispànica pels tractats d’Utrecht, Rastatt i Baden. Aquesta política ha estat qualificada com l’«Irredemptisme Mediterrani» del cardenal Alberoni. Per a Catalunya el proveïment de les flotes significà un important estímul econòmic, però també comportà violències i lleves coactives per al reclutament de soldats. Abstract The so-called Wars of Italy were Philip V’s attempt to recover the islands of Sardinia and Sicily lost by The Spanish Monarchy at the Treatises of Utrecht, Rastatt and Baden. This policy has been called «Cardinal Alberoni’s Mediterranean irredentism». The provisioning of fleets meant for Catalonia an important economic stymulus, but also violence and forced recruitment of soldiers. Butlletí de la Reial Acadèmia de Bones Lletres de Barcelona, LII, 2009-2010, p. 217-236. Josep M. Torras i Ribé Efectes sobre Catalunya de les guerres d’Itàlia (1717-1719) Introducció: una guerra després de la guerra Atenent a la més estricta cronologia, i a les evidències documentals, hauríem de convenir que es produeix un inevitable desajust entre el final de la guerra de Successió a Catalunya, i els esdeveniments posteriors que marquen la conjuntura política i diplomàtica europea. Efectivament, des d’una òptica estrictament catalana, la derrota de 1714 tancà sens dubte un cicle polític i militar perfectament definit, que tingué el seu inici en el desembarcament aliat de 1705 i el seu final amb el setge i expugnació de Barcelona per les tropes d’ambdues corones borbòniques. -

The Role of Government Accounting in the Unification of Italy
13TH WORLD CONGRESS OF ACCOUNTING HISTORIANS NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY 17-19 JULY 2012 THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING IN THE UNIFICATION OF ITALY Alberto Nobolo, Enrico Guarini, Francesca Magli Department of Management and Business Administration University of Milano-Bicocca Milan – Italy [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING IN THE UNIFICATION OF ITALY Abstract The focus of this paper is an historical perspective of the harmonization of administrative accounting practices across all levels of government. This study specifically examines accounting practice before and after the Unification of Italy (1861), shedding light on links between accounting reforms and changes in social, economic and political contexts due to diverse foreign occupations. Contrary to expectations, evidence showed that accounting harmonization was not a leading priority among government reforms. Full accounting harmonization had not been completed even 20 years after unification. Several urgent issues requiring government response, such as public debt consolidation and harmonization of the fiscal system, took precedent. In the aftermath of unification the central government endorsed uniform accounting principles primarily in support of systematic financial management across all levels of government. Some years later, when elected representatives were given greater control over the executive branch, harmonization efforts focused on making local administrations more accountable to citizens through greater transparency of their financial statements. In addition, the overall influence of government accounting traditions within and across countries is also discussed. Keywords: Accounting History, Government Accounting Harmonization; Kingdom of Italy; Local Government 2 THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTING IN THE UNIFICATION OF ITALY INTRODUCTION This paper discusses of the harmonization of local government accounting from an historical perspective. -
