SOCIOLOGY IN ITALY, AS VIEWED BY AN AMERICAN.

In the article, the author provides information on an article titled "Sociology in Italy, as Viewed by an American," by A.M. Rose. According to the author, there is an evidence that Rose made a real effort to give a general survey of sociological studies in Italy, some of these statements made in the article are not in accordance with facts. The credit for introducing sociology into the official curricula in higher educational establishments is due to professor Corrado Gini who, in 1923, was entrusted with the task of preparing the curriculum for the School of Social Sciences in the University of Padna and subsequently the curriculum for the Faculty of Political Science at the University of Rome, where he held the chair at sociology until he retired.
