The article deals with the economic transformations in the province of Pavia (Lombardy) during the second half of the twentieth century, bringing attention to changes in the economic structure but also to the different development models. Since the postwar years a rapid process of industrialization occurred, which fully inserts the area into the transformation process of the “Industrial Triangle” and the Italian “economic miracle”. In this phase, the economy is characterized by the presence of large companies, which make it a specific case of the Perroux’s development model. After the large companies’ crisis, a model of peripheral development began to be triggered, based on small businesses and on the involvement of peripheral and rural areas (Third Italy’s model). This is followed by a phase of progressive deindustrialization which determines a growing dependence on the labor market in the Milan area. The Pavia area is therefore no longer able to valorize existing local resources (work and financial resources) that are no longer used for territorial development. The article ends with a discussion of missed opportunities and problems left to future generations.

Keywords: territorial development, economic transformations, development models, deindustrialization, endogenous development, Provincie of Pavia.
