Abstract

- The author analyses interactions and mutual influences between technical-professional education and industrial development in and around Biella in the decades from the Unification of Italy and the age of Giolitti. The environment, the economy and the production system, as well as the actions of the leading social agents - enterpreneurs, local administrators, families, school system - are all taken into account.
