Dinamiche espansive tra radici locali e orizzonti nazionali Abstract: The aim of this article is to pay attention to the expansive model put in place by the Popular Bank of Novara between 1921-1943 in Italy. In fact, during the Ven-tennio, the model of the territorial bank and that of the big bank oriented to the financial market of the Country, were flanked by institutions that were able to fol-low a third path by reconciling the two souls without distorting themselves. The in-vestigation carried out for this article and the conclusions it has reached go in the direction of including both dimensions, local and national, through an analysis supported by an approach that goes to study the role played by the relationship between the regime and governance of the Popular in its development and in its participation in the acquisition of other banks; and how the BPN has been able to reconcile its role as a territorial bank with the ambitions of a national player.

Eni, ambiente ed energia dal secondo dopoguerra Abstract: Since its creation, Eni?s public image was characterized by a high social commit-ment, whose primary task was to ensure energy, affluence, and jobs for the Italian population. Starting from the Sixties, the environmental issue assumed more and more importance in the construction of the corporate image, both for a greater sensitivity of the civic society and for global events, such as the energy crises of the Seventies, which posed the problems of the energy organization of the Nation and the dependence on fossil fuels. In analysing the relationship between the Company and the environment, the author used different sources: company magazines and films, advertising material and archival sources, which paint a complex and articulated picture on the relationship between the oil company, en-vironmental impact and ecological awareness.

Montedison e la questione ecologica nei primi anni Settanta Abstract: The present paper reconstructs how Italy?s largest chemical company, Montedi-son, began to address the problem of the impact of its industrial activities on envi-ronmental resources and people?s lives in the early 1970s, when new ecological concerns were emerging in the public debate. Its aim is to verify whether environ-mental criticism towards the chemical company has led to a rethinking of its pro-duction structure and a greater focus on ecological issues. To achieve this goal the author resorted to the analysis of a long memorandum sent by the company to the Italian government?s Economic Planning authorities in 1972, as well as a series of environmental studies edited by the company itself and consisting of eight issues published between 1973 and 1974.

The Institute moved in three directions: it tried to influence the first experiments in environmental poli-cy (in particular, in the field of water protection), it tried to activate a series of initi-atives to make managers and technicians aware of the problem of pollution and its social consequences, and through some of its subsidiaries, it promoted activities in the field of depollution techniques. Using completely unpublished sources, this article reconstructs the evolution of these operations. In this way, the text tries to shed light on IRI's environmental strategy and on the way it interacted with the other problems that the group had to face in a difficult economic situation.
