While Carlo and Emanuele II were enjoying royal leisure, the Spanish officials visiting Italy had truly begun their busy work.
The diplomatic visit wasn't for leisure, but to practically solve the current problems faced by the Spanish Government.
What's the biggest issue for the Spanish Government at the moment? Firstly, there is no money; secondly, there is not enough foreign capital involved.
The development of a country's various aspects isn't that simple; it's not a matter of just throwing money to achieve effective growth.
For instance, when it comes to industry, growth in industry requires a variety of factories to blossom throughout Spain, and relying solely on domestic capital is simply not possible.
Even though the royal family has invested heavily in steel and other industries, ultimately, they need the support of private Spanish capital and some foreign capital to achieve comprehensive growth and expansion.
