At its origins the kingdom of Italy struggled to build clear relationships between the banking system and state institutions. Alongside the Banca Nazionale, there were five other banks of issue in central and southern Italy that contributed to the economic crisis. The weakness of the supervisory system, the inadequacy of the consortia for rescuing banks and companies and the parliamentary paralysis that blocked any attempt at reform, emerged in all their dramatic evidence. Only as a result of a financial-political scandal was it possible to reduce the issuing banks from six to three, with the Bank of Italy in the absolute lead. This reform would have made the banking system able to support the modernisation of the country.

Keywords: Bank of Italy, 1893, state building, economic crisis, banking supervision, scandals.
