Hardcover. This volume provides an overview of current research in the history of Italian technology in the long run, from the early Middle Ages to the 20th century. The contributors focus on different aspects of Italian creativity in a local, transnational and global dimension, tracing the trajectory from primacy to relative decline. The themes range from the creation and establishment of new technologies in laboratories or enterprises, the processes of learning, diffusion, and copying and the institutions involved in the generation of a national technological capability and innovation system. Comparative studies are included in order to illustrate special features of the Italian case. The industries covered in this volume range from silk, iron and steel production, to electricity generation and telecommunications.Special Issue: Italian Technology from the Renaissance to the 20th CenturyEdited by Anna Guagnini and Luca MolaIncluded in this volume:Inventors, Patents and the Market for Innovations in Renaissance ItalyThe Microcosm: Technological Innovation and the Transfer of Mechanical Knowledge in the Habsburg Empire of the Sixteenth centuryDiamonds in Early Modern Venice: Technology, Products and International CompetitionA Global Supremacy.
