The purpose of this series is circulate preliminary versions of historical studies on growth, finance, money, and institutions prepared within Banca d'Italia or presented at Bank seminars by external speakers, with the aim of stimulating comments and suggestions. This series replaces the Quaderni dell'Ufficio Ricerche Storiche (Historical Research Papers), published from 2001 to 2007.
The opinions expressed in the papers are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of Banca d'Italia.
As of February 2024, the publications in this series are only available online.
