Chapter Gli studi sociologici

Overview & Synopsis

The teaching of sociology at Cesare Alfieri began in 1910 and developed through key figures like Giovanni Lorenzoni and Camillo Pellizzi. Initially seen as a secondary discipline, sociology gained ground post-WWII thanks to institutional support and figures such as Luciano Cavalli, who connected empirical research with Weberian theory. The 1960s and 1970s marked its academic expansion, responding to Italy’s social transformations; specifically, studies of Cultural Sociology were developed with Giovanni Bechelloni and Economic Sociology with Arnaldo Bagnasco, Carlo Trigilia and Franca Alacevich.
