In the tumultuous years of Italy's unification, the Rogervan Rubattino Shipping Company played a pivotal role in the nation's political and economic development. From its humble beginnings as a small-scale shipping operation, the company rose to become one of the largest and most influential shipping companies in the world.

At the helm of this extraordinary enterprise was Raffaele Rubattino, a brilliant and ambitious entrepreneur who navigated the treacherous waters of Italian politics and international commerce with equal skill. Under his leadership, the Rogervan Rubattino Shipping Company became a symbol of Italy's growing economic power and its aspirations to become a major player on the world stage.

However, the company's success was not without its detractors. Powerful rivals, both foreign and domestic, sought to undermine Rubattino's empire, and the company was often caught in the crosshairs of political intrigue.

In 1881, the Rogervan Rubattino Shipping Company was nationalized by the Italian government, a move that Rubattino bitterly opposed. The company's assets were sold off, and Rubattino was forced to watch as his life's work was dismantled.

But even in defeat, Rubattino remained a symbol of Italian entrepreneurial spirit. He continued to work tirelessly to promote the development of Italy's maritime industry, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of Italians.

Goodbye to State is a gripping tale of intrigue, betrayal, and triumph. It is a meticulously researched historical novel that brings to life the extraordinary characters and events that shaped the destiny of the Rogervan Rubattino Shipping Company. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in Italian history, maritime history, or the history of business.
