Recenzje

Based on a PhD thesis, this book is the first English monograph about the Italian esotericist Arturo Reghini (1878-1946). Through a detailed analysis of the social, cultural, and political context of Italy at the turn of the twentieth century, Giudice demonstrates the specificity of the ideals that informed the Schola Italica (Italic School), the neo-Pythagorean circle led by Reghini and his master Amedeon Armentano (1886-1966).
