Abstract
The first years of intervention by the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno (CasMez) were dedicated to the phase of direct action, that is the financing of territorial reorganization works in the rural areas of the South. In this context, Basilicata, for the first time in its history, was interested entirely from remediation pro- grams, indispensable for soil productivity, and infrastructure, as a function of a subsequent impetus towards a policy of industrialization of the territory that, however, did not reach significant results. Using direct sources of the CasMez, and taking into consideration the literature on the subject, the result of the re- search highlights the consequent significant increase in Lucanian agricultural productivity after the first years of activity of the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
