L'Economista Anglofilo. Paolo Balsamo e l'utopia liberale in Sicilia (1787-1816)
2023
Paolo Balsamo -economist and professor of University of Palermo from 1787 to 1812- was a traveller and expert in the most advanced and modern British and European agriculture.

Paolo Balsamo, Smithianism and the Birth of Liberalism in Sicily
2020
The article focuses on the transition process of Sicily, between the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, from the Ancien Regime to a modern society, underlining the intellectual and political role of the Sicilian economist Paolo Balsamo. The professor of Agriculture and Economics at University of Palermo founded the Sicilian liberalism on Adam Smith’s works and tried to reform the institutions of the island aiming to make them the model of a Smithian nation. The article analyses Balsamo’s work by highlighting the interlacement of culture, social interests and political emergencies, all of which had an effect on how Smithianism was adopted in Sicily.
IL GRAND TOUR ‘AL ROVESCIO’. IL VIAGGIO DI PAOLO BALSAMO COME IPOTESI STORIOGRAFICA
2020
Ricostruendo le vicende, accademiche e politiche, che condussero Paolo Balsamo – economista della Regia Accademia di Palermo – dalla Sicilia fino in Inghilterra, ripercorrendo le tappe del suo tour e gettando uno sguardo sulle esperienze vissute durante il soggiorno inglese, ci interrogheremo sull’opportunità storiografica, particolarmente per la storia del pensiero economico, di studiare il Grand Tour ‘capovolto’ degli economisti mediterranei del tardo Settecento e dell’Ottocento.
The economist and the secret agent. Strategies to introduce the British model of society into Sicily of 1812.
2021
The paper explores the events which determined the transition of Sicily from the ancien regime towards a modern liberal society. The key figures selected to understand this historical moment are the economist Paolo Balsamo, professor at Regia Università di Palermo, and the Scottish gentleman Gould Francis Leckie, whose profile as landowner and scholar concealed his intelligence activity in Sicily. This essay shows how British policy and Sicilian ruling class conceived a plan to transform the island by importing a model of capitalist society from the United Kingdom and entrusted it to the cultural and political role exercised by Balsamo.
