Claudio Bargelli

Claudio Bargelli is a Researcher at the Department of Economics and Business, University of Parma, Italy. His teaching appointments include:

• History of Economic Thought (2nd year, First Cycle Degree in Economics and Management) for academic years 2013/2014–2025/2026
• Economic History (1st year, First Cycle Degree in Economics and Management) for academic years 2013/2014–2016/2017
• Globalization and Business Dynamics (1st year, Second Cycle Degree in Business Administration) for academic year 2020/2021

His research centers on Italian economic history with emphasis on Parma’s Enlightenment-era transformations and industrial evolution. Key interests include

• Urban development under reformist governance
• Formation of agro-industrial districts (e.g., tomato preserves)
• Social dynamics of workshops and public spaces
• Biographical analysis of 19th-century economic figures
• Intersection of utopian thought and policy implementation
• Regional business dynamics during industrialization

Bargelli’s publications (2020–2024) reveal a cohesive focus on Parma’s socio-economic fabric across centuries. His work bridges urban studies, industrial history, and intellectual history, using regional case studies to dissect broader themes like leisure economies, commodity clusters, and reformist leadership. The consistent geographic/temporal scope—from Du Tillot’s Enlightenment-era governance to early 20th-century industrialization—highlights a specialized contribution to Italian historiography.
