About this Item

Most bifolio, some single page letters. They all include postal markings. Few are part printed. All creased at folds, several have worming. About 10 x 9 inches each. Several are part printed with price current. More than half are addressed to Giacomo Parodi and date from 1815-1826/27. The rest are addressed to Bartolomeo Parodi from the early 1830s to 1849. An extraordinary lot dating from the Napoleonic era to the revolutions of 1848. Very good. One of the most reputable and important 19th century Italian banks, The Parodi Bank was established in 1792 by Giacomo Parodi (1754-1830) in Genoa. As his health and eyesight failed him, his son, Bartolomeo Parodi (1783-1865) took a more active role and expanded the bank?s reach internationally. The Parodi Bank was active in the unification of Italy, founding of the Bank of Genoa and modernizing the Italian banking system in order to compete with other well established European financial institutions. From large state loans to investments in stock companies, banks, railways, shipping and the mining industry, Bartolomeo continued growing the bank after his father?s death. The bank remained in the family until it ceased operation in 1928. These letters were sent from Rome, Nove, Chiavari, Milan, Livorno, Napoli, Paris, Lombard Bank of Geneva, Marseille, Messina and Turin. [Banking].
