Abstract

The correspondence between the mathematician Angelo Genocchi (1817-1889) and Quintino Sella (1827-1884) highlights aspects of Sella’s political thought and cultural organization. In particular, Sella’s aims on Rome “capital of science” and on the fusion of the Società Italiana delle Scienze and the rebuilt Accademia dei Lincei as emblem of national culture created troubles with the elderly members of Italian scientific community. In spite of some incomprehensions, the exchange of ideas persisted the mutual esteem and the shared of ethical and cultural intentions for the progress of the country.
