The present research is aimed at analysing the role of the State towards the first British and Italian railway companies before the nationalisations. The article reviews the British and Italian railway legislation and financial reports, retrieved from historical archives. The results highlight two very different roles of the public institutions: while one State acted as a regulator, the other one mainly acted as an entrepreneur.

Keywords: Railway, State utilities, Britain, Italy, public intervention.
