Count Volpi developed utilities which brought electricity to Venice, northeast Italy, and the Balkans by 1903.

In 1911-1912, he acted as a negotiator in ending the Italo-Turkish War.

He was the governor of the colony of Tripolitania from 1921 to until 1925.

As Italy's Finance Minister from 1925 until 1928, he successfully negotiated Italy's World War I debt repayment with the United States and with England, and pegged the value of the lira to the value of gold. He was replaced in July 1928 by Antonio Moscini.
