Pietro Rossi and Max Weber’s Works in Italy - The recent publication of Pietro Rossi’s Max Weber. Un’idea di Occidente (2007), which collects the author’s studies about the great German scholar, offered Professor Marra the opportunity for a critical insight into the reception given to Max Weber in Italy. Following Rossi, who was the editor of the Italian edition of Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft and of other important writings by Weber, this article focuses in particular on questioning whether the Weberian legacy has had an unduly limited impact on Italian philosophical culture.
