It spread up in 1893 when Salvatore Cognetti de Martiis (then professor of economics at the Faculty of Law) founded the Laboratorio di Economia politica [Political Economy School]. In the Laboratorio many brilliant economists, such as Einaudi, Albertini, Cabiati, Jannaccone, studied and/or worked up to 1940, developing Cognetti’s original project of a School of economics located in Turin.
