Transatlantica Italiana S.A. di Navigazione
Transatlantica Italiana S.A. di Navigazione was acquired by Hamburg
America Line when they
purchased Ligure Brasiliana in 1913, but was registered under the Italian flag.
In 1914 the name
was changed to Transatlantica Italiana and in 1915, following the entry of Italy
into the Great
War, an Italian board of directors was formed and all German held shares were
purchased. About
a year later, control was sold to the Ansaldo group. Services were operated between
Italy and
New York with some calls at Lisbon, Gibraltar, Azores and Boston and between
Italy and South
America. After the collapse of the Ansaldo group and a deterioration in trading
conditions, the
company gradually sold their ships and was eventually wound up in 1934.
