Come nacque la Nuova Rivista Storica 1915-1916

The essay analyses the negotiations between Corrado Barbagallo and GuidoPorzio on one side, Pietro Silva and Gioacchino Volpe on the other, on the basis ofunpublished letters written between the beginning of 1915 and 1916 (whose, themost important are published in appendix). These negotiations concern the foundationand organisation of a new review that took the place of «Studi Storici», whichseemed to disappear after his founder’s death at the end of 1914. It is clear how the«Nuova Rivista Storica», created in 1917, was strictly related to the historiographicalmovement known as economic-juridical.
