Abstract

The chapter delves into the early reception of pure economics in Italy, focusing on the correspondence between Léon Walras and Italian economists, particularly those associated with the 'Lombard-Venetian school' from 1874 to 1886. Key figures such as Alberto Errera and Gerolamo Boccardo played pivotal roles in promoting Walrasian thought, while the chapter also examines the challenges and limitations encountered in this endeavor. The text highlights the significance of these exchanges in the dissemination of economic ideas and the intellectual climate of the period. Additionally, it includes unpublished documents and explores the contributions of lesser-known economists, providing a comprehensive overview of the early reception of pure economics in Italy.
