    <description>Title: Care Needs, Organisational Instances and Bio-political Power: The Royal Hospital of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli of Palermo in the Seventeenth Century
Authors: Rossi, Roberto
Abstract: Care structures in the modern age have undergone profound transformations due to the changed operating environment and advances in medical technology. However, according to Foucault's theory, the advances in medical treatment and care organization are considered as part of a power system and should be examined as a government technology tool. In this sense, the military hospitals were an important part of this social management organization. The case of the Royal Hospital of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli in Palermo represents a significant case to analyse the processes of organisational and functional transformation that affected hospital structures in the second half of the 17th century within a bio-political context.</description>

    <description>Title: From crisis to control: The revival of Banco di Napoli's land credit under the management of Nicola Miraglia
Authors: Muscherà, Mattia
Abstract: This paper examines the pivotal role of Nicola Miraglia in steering the Banco di Napoli through a tumultuous period of economic crisis and institutional decay in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Miraglia undertook the daunting task of managing a bank on the brink of bankruptcy due to the aftermath of the 1893 banking crisis and the Banca Romana scandal and implemented a series of strategic reforms focused on careful management and asset liquidation. Utilizing archival data from the Banco di Napoli's Historical Archive, Fondo Miraglia, the paper analyses the administrative and financial performance of the Neapolitan institute under Miraglia's leadership. Highlighting the successful transition of the Land Credit into a phase of liquidation, characterized by improved revenue streams and meticulous debt management. Tables detailing variations in administration building costs and development of building rents across different cities underscore the positive impact of Miraglia's reforms. Ultimately, the paper concludes that Miraglia's leadership played a crucial role in stabilizing and revitalizing the Banco di Napoli, setting it on a path towards recovery and long-term sustainability. His perseverance, competence, and moral integrity were instrumental in addressing the complex issues plaguing the Banco and laying the groundwork for its continued operations during a period marked by economic volatility and institutional uncertainty.</description>

    <description>Title: The Istituto Mobiliare Italiano and the internationalisation of Italian businesses in the post-war period: The case of Italconsult, 1957-1973
Authors: Pasotti, Ilaria
Abstract: The paper addresses a neglected aspect of IMI's activity in supporting the internationalisation of Italian industry in the post-war period: the creation of Italconsult in 1957, in partnership with some of the most important Italian private exporting industrial companies (Innocenti, Italcementi, Fiat, La Centrale, Montecatini and Sade, which were later joined by Pirelli, Edison and Finmeccanica). Italconsult aimed to coordinate the associated companies in sharing their technological know-how for the design of plants and supplies in tenders for large-scale works and contracts abroad. The initiative arose from the awareness, gained in IMI's experience of export credit, of the need to improve collaboration with foreign buyers, especially in backward countries, by combining financial assistance with technical assistance. In the first decade of its operation, Italconsult was able to make Italy one of the international players in the field of plant engineering, with exports concentrated in Latin America, Eastern Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. It thus contributed to fuel Italy's foreign trade, that was one of the main pillars of the development model adopted by the country in the post-war years; and it also played a part in shaping Italy's cooperation policy with deve - loping countries. Subsequently, it experienced difficulties arising from the international crisis of the early 1970s and the growing problems of coordination between associated companies. On the basis of an original archival research and yet unpublished IMI records preserved in the Historical Archives of Intesa Sanpaolo, the paper aimed to trace the evolution of Italconsult and the role played by IMI in it.</description>
