The Fleets Italia Società di Navigazione a Vapore
The Italia Società di Navigazione a Vapore was founded in Genoa in 1899 to
operate services between Italy and South America. Although registered in Italy,
the company was controlled by
Hamburg America Line. In 1906 Hamburg America sold
their share of the company to
Navigazione Generale Italiana and sailings to New York
and Philadelphia started in 1908. In 1917 Italia was absorbed into the new
company Transoceanica Società Italiana di Navigazione.
