Luigi Luzzatti is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.
The record lists Luigi Luzzatti as Italian statesman and economist (1841-1927).
Luigi Luzzatti was born at Venice in 1841. His recorded nationality is Italy. He was educated at University of Padua.
Industrialisation changed the scale of everything: factories, railways, joint-stock capital and the first modern corporations.
He worked as politician, banker and economist.
His recorded affiliations include University of Padua.
What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.
Recognition followed: Grand Cross of the Order of Franz Joseph, Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour, Knight of the Order of St. Olav and Order of the Redeemer.
That the business was built from Italy shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.
Luigi Luzzatti died in 1927, aged 86. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
