[ Abstract ]
This paper is describing the parabola of the Italian railway
engineers starting from the Unification in 1861, when they were
quite backward if compared with their colleagues operating
abroad, to the years following World War I. It's a professional
path, which brings them to excellent levels, in some sectors,
under the organizational and technical profile. Nationalization
of railways in 1905 represents, from this point of view, a
crucial historical moment for their professional training.
