Abstract
Born in Triest 1879, Camillo Castiglioni is one of the most influential persons in European industrial and banking history. At the beginning of the 20th century, he participated in establishing and financing many major companies. He founded aircraft factories, among them the MLG and Ufag, but his permanent achievement was the start-up of the BMW machine factory and the founding of its economic success. He set up several banks, and his financial talents did not leave him either during the years of World War 1 or the Great Depression. He was one of Europe's most important financial professionals and capital owners until the rise of fascism. Because of his Jewish ancestry, he eventually had to hide and survive World War II as a disguised monk in a monastery.
