ABSTRACT: This paper deals with peculiarities of Italian Industrial Revolution on machinery by looking at aspects
on enterprise developments and university frames. The outline showed a historical evolution
that started in South Italy and after national reunification strong development was experienced
mainly in North Italy with the still today character of few big enterprises and several
small-medium companies. Examples are discussed with emblematic figures from University
frames and cases of study on typical enterprises of the time. The Italian peculiarities are due both
to political situations connected to Italy reunification and Italian attitudes to Science and Technology
as combined with a strong individualism and creativity.
