This monograph presents Italian historical and philosophical studies in Russian thought, bearing ample evidence of the way Russian philosophy gets perceived within Italian school.

The review presents the recently published monograph of Italian scholar Vera Pozzi “Kant and Russian Orthodoxy. Spiritual Academies and philosophy in Russia between 18th and 19th centuries”. The book is dedicated to a detailed reconstruction of the reception of Kant and his philosophy in Russian spiritual academies based on two case studies (“the case of I. Vetrinskii” and “the case of P. Yurkevich”). Pozzi examines various philosophical responses of Russian thinkers to Kant’s Copernican revolution and for the first time in scientific literature provides a deep analysis of the latin text of Vetrinskii “Institutiones Metaphysicae”. Overall, the monograph disproves the prevalent notion of the incompatibility of Kant and Russian religious thought and shows that the attitude toward Kantian philosophy within Russian Orthodox thought was more balanced and favorable than is generally believed.

The article is devoted to a retrospective review of scientific evolution of Italian historiography of Russian philosophy on the occasion of its centenial anniversary. The changes which took place in Russia after the events of 1917 were drawing a particular attention of italian intellectuals to russian history, culture and thought. The present paper provides an analysis of the process of Russian philosophy being popularized in Italy. The author determines and analyzes three periods in the formation of Italian studies in Russian thought. Each stage is characterized by a specific trends, personalities, their activities and major works. In conclusion author deals with the idea of a certain correlation between the perception of Russian thought in Italy and the character of italian philosophical tradition.
This is a review of the recent monograph by Dario Citati, italian historian of Russian philosophy and political thought. His work is dedicated to a detailed reconstruction of Lev Gumilev’s intellectual heritage, major aspects of classical Euroasian doctrin and its modern interpretations.The appearance of Citati’s book is a significant event for Italian historiography of Russian philosophy. First, it provides a systematic study of main Gumilev’s ideas, problems and methodological issues. Second, it allows to overcome and redefine stereotypes around Euroasianism in western studies. As a result, Citati’s work offers a solid background for the dialogue between Russian and Italian historians of Russian philosophy.

This is a critical assessment of two book-length studies of the two major figures in the history of Russian philosophy, written by prominent Italian scholars Piero Coda and Natalino Valentini and now appearing in Russian translation in the “Religious thinkers” series published by St. Andrew's Biblical Theological Institute. Both monographs adopt the theologically tinged approach typical of the Italian scholarship on Russian philosophy, with its characteristic avowal of inseparability of reason from faith and demand for ecumenical dialogue between the Catholic and Orthodox religious thinking. The works here reviewed bear ample evidence of the way Russian Philosophy gets perceived within Italian historiographical school, one of the most advanced in Europe. The publication of the books by Coda and Valentini in Russian is all the more important given the fact that Italian writing on the subject still gets relatively little attention from the Russian academic community.
