Playing Piemont and cannot build anything because lack of Private Capital. I do not have Manufactured Goods and cannot build it because cannot buy Mechanical Parts ... so is impossible produce more merchandise for trade. Any other way, how increase Private Capital?

Not many, because Private Capital mostly comes from the population...so you have to slowly build your industry and RR first, then proceed with Italian unification (you must grab Lombardia by 1860 - with help of powerful ally) and support Garibaldi when he shows up, and play unification decisions on Italian minors....this way the realm enlarges and you get access to more capital

If you can spam merchants fleets, then you can place them in MTB with a lot of traffic in merchandises, so this will up the transport fees automatically.

I´m playing with the italians too. It´s turn 60 and I´m beginning to make some serious capital. The key factor for me was the "luxury goods". But, before that I had to build iron and mineral mines and a fabric of mechanical parts.

Right now I´m making profit with the "luxury goods" in the national market and also selling mechanical parts to France in exchange of a lot of money.

In the first turns the pace of your development is veeeery slow, but patience is rewarded in this game.
