This study analyses the process of amalgamation between the municipalities of Milan and Corpi Santi (1873-1876) and sheds light on the use of accounting in the context of boundary changes in local government. The study shows how the interaction of external pressures with internal factors played a role in facilitating the accounting change. In particular, the political vision and accounting information facilitated the process of amalgamation.
