According to tradition, he was born in Alvito (in a small duchy in the Kingdom of Naples) between XVI and XVII centuries and he was from a family related to a Luccan warlord Castruccio Castracani, to whom Machiavelli dedicated a short biographical novel. However, Castrucci never existed, despite the reprints of "hisˮ work (1686, 1863 and 1978) and many biographical notes that were dedicated to him. His case is the result of an editorial strategy of the XVII century.

Yet, the "booklet" resists to the possibility to be precisely defined. Perhaps, its hybrid characteristic may be showed through the consideration of the form of autobiography. The relation between the self-writing (the construction of a work through the re-utilization and re-adaptation of author's previous writings), the diverse communicative forms that contribute to the making of the Vita nova, and the relation that this work establishes with the working progress of all Dante's work. This article inquires the textual and extra-textual role that the writing of the self assumes in Vita Nova. How the "booklet" reacts to the previous forms of lyrical poetry (texts and macro-texts of Romance lyrical poetry) and how Vita nova influences Petrarch's Rerum vulgarium fragmenta -both in terms of continuity and contrast with the "booklet".

But he acknowledges the «Croce problem» − the aristocratic habitand extends it to the whole tradition of the pre-fascist liberalism. La libertà come filosofia di vita: intervista a Corrado Ocone, di Francesco Postorino ………………………………………………………………………………...…. p. 26 Abstract: Croce's philosophical view, according to Corrado Ocone, is a thoughtful tribute to human creativity and freedom. In his opinion, it deals with a «philosophy of life» higher than both the Communist approach and the Liberal doctrine, and should be read carefully in a relation of fruitful tension with Oakeshott, Popper, Hayek, Berlin and Collingwood's theories. Abstract: According to Rosalia Peluso, the debate of crocean studies today is the comparison with different points of view. At a recent conference about Croce, occurred in Russia, the Italian scholar underlined that the new post-Soviet conditions have favoured an interesting penetration of this philosopher in the country. But Russian culture has yet to face Marxism. The liberal pages written and lived by Croce can be of great help.

By researching articles, declarations and correspondence preceding the publication of the book it has been tried to recreate the steps that lead the translator its publication; furthermore, in a second moment, the study of the typewritten document has allowed to follow and evaluate the book evolution through a never-ending succession of variations in the different elaboration phases. The abundance of the rediscovered variations, that are classified according to the contemporary author philology, has allowed to contemplate the complexity of the endless work through which Bufalino has introduced himself in Sghiribizzi as a translator and writer at the same time.

Abstract: In Italy, Benedetto Croce is known as the worst enemy of science. This is an absolute misconception. This essay shows how Croce, going beyond Kant's distinction in his Critique of judgment, values science to the point of attributing to the scientist traits of genius. Il contributo del "primo Croce" alla teoria della libertà, di Corrado Ocone …………………………………………………………………………………… p. 41 Abstract: This article disproves the popular opinion that Benedetto Croce's liberalism is not only atypical (or even not authentic), but that it's also a liberalism that developed late, after the turmoil of First World War, as a consequence of unforeseen happenings. It disproves that Croce's liberalism developed as a consequence of his previous convinctions strongly influenced by authors with ideals opposite to the liberal one. Specifically, it is demonstrated as the early Croce contains already two aspects common to the major authors of the liberalism of the 20th century (Oakeshott, Popper, Hayek, Berlin …), namely the critics to the positivism and scientism; and the refusal of the "storicism" ('filosofia della storia', according to Croce) and of any "social engineering".

These pages focus about history topic in Croce's thought.

Abstract: This article aims to recall, fundamentally, the controversial relations between Benedetto Croce and the philosophical culture of the Action party. In particular, it tries to show how the brief political period of italian liberals remains influenced by the Croce's historicism, while keeping alive the prospect of the Sollen.

In 1933, Benedetto Croce reprinted an "elegia iocosa" written by Calenzio, accompanied by a brief introductory note.
