TY - Type of reference TI - Two Schumpeterian entrepreneurs: The Bombrini brothers’ Ansaldo company and foreign markets between the 19th and 20th centuries AU - Paola Nardone AU - Natascia Ridolfi AB - This article analyzes the company policy of Ansaldo, a Genoese business under the direction of the Bombrini brothers, both innovative and dynamic entrepreneurs. Their leadership placed Ansaldo at the top of national naval and mechanical production. This sector, which was particularly strategic in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, required massive investment to carry out projects aimed not only at achieving a vertical structure in the production process, but also at allowing Ansaldo to measure its own capacity in a highly specialized sector such as the naval-mechanical industry. The Bombrini brothers began to turn their attention to the foreign market in order to create new opportunities for product success. This decision was made primarily because of the increasingly negative effects of the crisis in the metalworking sector, caused by the progressive disengagement of the government in military orders.
