    The history of sociological studies in Italy
    (Fosbrooke, 1970) Rossi-Doria, Manlio
    At the turn of the century, Italy had found itself, if not yet in the vanguard, then at least in a position of considerable importance in the field of sociology. In the field of theory, valuable contributions had been made to several sectors, and some of them still influence the modern social sciences to a great extent. In the field of re-search, on the other hand, developments had been carried far into every sector, and often manifested themselves in the form of official documents (parliamentary inquiries, statistical surveys) and in the thinking of some groups of scholars (historians, jurists, psychologists, economists and politicians) as well as in the institutional evolution of the time, which, through the development of social legislation and the growth of the cooperative and association movement, undoubtedly opened a way also to sociological an-alysis and research.
