Resumen de Sui rapporti tra Gioacchino Volpe e Benedetto Croce. A partire da una recente pubblicazione

Bruno Figliuolo

• The paper examines the relationship between Croce and Volpe, in the light of the recent edition of the correspondence between the two for over twenty-five years. This work analyzes the period of flowering and growth of that cultural relationship, often materialized in open collaboration, and then that of the progressive removal, due to the Volpe’s failure to fully adhere to the canons of the Croce’s historiography. Finally, the relationship culminated in the open rupture when Volpe joined Fascism.
