"The third volume of the series of Photographic Albums of the Intesa Sanpaolo Historical
Archives is devoted to a striking and previously unpublished collection of photographs
linked to the history of the Banca Commerciale Italiana (COMIT), a credit institution
that set up the Società Commerciale d'Oriente (COMOR) in Geneva in 1907, together
with a group of Venetian entrepreneurs led by Giuseppe Volpi. Their aim was to promote
the financing of plants and infrastructure such as railways, mines, electric power
stations and shipping companies in the Near East. COMOR moved its headquarters to
Milan in 1912 but it had various offices it could count on in the Mediterranean basin,
including an office in Istanbul, then Constantinople, managed by engineer Bernardino
Nogara, a fiduciary of COMIT in the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, and a prominent
figure in the history of the 20th century. The photographic narrative begins in the
Ottoman Empire of the early 20th century, and ends with the outbreak of the First
World War. It is centred around the Nogara family, who followed the head of the family
to Constantinople. All the photos published in this book come from the Bernardino
Nogara Private Archives, a photographic collection with a value that extends far beyond
an interest in the history of the bank. It is a revisiting of subjects that have until
now mainly been known and studied only through the official photographs circulated
by the Empire to show the West the modernity of Ottoman society. Intesa Sanpaolo has
decided to exploit this remarkable visual heritage and make it available to everyone
through the bank's Culture and Historical Archives Project"--Publisher's description
