Vie e mezzi di comunicazione in Italia e Spagna in eta contemporanea (Networks and Means of Communication in Contem- porary Italy and Spain)

摘要

This edited book is the seventh published on behalf of the Italy-Spain Committee on Economic History (Comitato Italia-Spagna per la Storia economica). Since the end of the 1990s, this committee has met once every two years. Following meetings on maritime, food, business and tourism history, its 2011 seminar covered transportation and communications (mainly telecommunications) history. Even if Italy and Spain have very different historical patterns, these two countries have comparable issues in terms of communications. This emerges in various chapters, even if the book does not recollect and discuss them. At least six similarities can be identified.
