Honore et labore. L’attività economico finanziaria e le relazioni degli Avigdor di Nizza nel XIX secolo,

The article analyses the economic and financial activities of the Avigdor family at an international level. These bankers from Nice carry out an important activity, as they correspond with members of the European haute banque, such as the Rothschilds and Fould Oppenheim. Furthermore, they deal with business transactions regarding trade (oil, wheat, tobacco, sugar, etc.). The study of the correspondence between the Avigdors and the Rothschild bankers of London and Paris has enabled the understanding of the business networks of the Rothschild bankers in the Liguria area that follow a precise strategy of penetration, which is not limited to the economy, but more generally includes the social and cultural development of the 19th Century.
