Alberto De’ Stefani: from Ca’ Foscari to China
Abstract
Alberto De’ Stefani (1879-1969), one of the most important Italian economists, studied and taught in Ca’ Foscari until he moved to Rome in 1922. Among his personal achievements, it is worth remembering his mission to Republican China in 1937. This essay first looks at De’ Stefani’s connection with Ca’ Foscari and then it gives an account of his trip to Republican China in the context of the history of Sino-Italian relations in that period, aiming at offering some new insights on this important figure in the history of Ca’ Foscari University.
