Re: Octillion
The problem with the king of the house of Savoy was his poor management of Southern Italy. He thought that Italy was as industrialized as the north and tried to shift the production of goods. Southern Italy was producing a lot of the fruits for Europe. The king expected the people of the south to start doing mining among other tasks.
I have a book that describes this very well. I will try to dig it up.
