Description

With the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, a unified nation state was formed for the first time. Until then, Italy consisted of numerous sovereign states with individual political and economic systems.

The first paper money in Italy was issued in the Kingdom of Sardinia. The city of Turin in Piedmont was the centre of the state, so it therefore acted as the state paper money’s place of issue.

Issuing banks were not founded until the middle of the 19th century, with "Banca di Torino" being established in 1847. In 1849 it merged with "Banca di Genova" to form "Banca Nazionale negli Stati Sardi". Its banknotes were also accepted for payment by the state treasuries, even though the bank was a private institution.

The north of Sardinia was part of the Republic of Genoa, the city of Genoa later became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. Genoa’s historical link with Sardinia is evident on the banknotes: allegorical representations of the cities of Turin and Genoa with coats of arms (Turin on the left, Genoa on the right) can be seen. Another clue is the portrait of the seafarer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), who was probably born in Genoa.
