The aim of the Historical Series of the Bank of Italy - initially published by Editori Laterza, then by Marsilio Editori and, since 2022, by Società Editrice il Mulino - is to make documents, statistics and analysis available to scholars, as instruments serving to stimulate and encourage research and studies. Two years after their publication the works are made accessible in digital form on this website.
The editorial plan of the Historical Series includes three series of volumes:
- The Documents Series from the Bank's historical archive;
- The Statistics Series that makes real and financial time series available to scholars as part of the Bank's ongoing research projects;
- The Analysis and Essays Series (which combines two of the four previous series, namely the "Analysis" and the "Essays and Research") that propose the results of historical economic research projects and monographic essays.
