Title: Le funzioni del governo nel pensiero economico di Antonio Scialoja: il decennio 1850-1860 
(The functions of government in Antionio Scialoja's economic thought: the decade 1850-1860)
Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to highlight some central aspects of Antonio Scialoja’s economic thought. These are: 
his Benthamian approach to public action; his justification of below-the-line
public expenditure as a tool to foster national economic development through infrastructure building;
the strong gradualism he adopted in applying economic theories to policy. This last aspect is crucial
as a bridge between Scialoja’s activity as an economist and Scialoja’s activity as a politician
