Abstract: Using a long-run series of I-O tables, some simple facts are explored with respect to the Italian trade balance in the period 1960-2000. The analysis confirms that the Italian economy underwent a de-specialisation process before the euro era. This phenomenon weakened our export capacity, and in addition worsened significantly our dependence on non-oil imports. - Nel lavoro si esplorano alcuni semplici fatti relativi alla bilancia commerciale italiana nel periodo 1960-2000, tramite l’utilizzo di una lunga serie di tavole input-output. L’analisi conferma che l’economia italiana ha subito un processo di de-specializzazione prima del periodo dell’euro. Ciò ha indebolito la nostra capacità di esportare, peggiorando inoltre in modo significativo la nostra dipendenza dalle importazioni non petrolifere.
