Title: Einaudi e Albertini giornalisti 
(Einaudi and Albertini as journalists)
Abstract: The paper deals with the relationship between Luigi Einaudi and Luigi Albertini mainly through the
analysis of their correspondence (1903-1925). As it is well known Einaudi was one of the most important
Italian political and public finance economists during the first part of 20th century. He was also
an inexhaustible journalist. Luigi Albertini was the owner and the editor of the most important and
influential Italian newspaper, the «Corriere della Sera», issued in Milan. In 1903 Albertini asked Einaudi
for his collaboration as expert on economic matters and from that date on their collaboration 
was almost daily until 1925, when the fascist regime seized the ownership of the «Corriere» and fired
Albertini. The huge quantity of articles written by Einaudi and the considerable private correspondence
between Albertini and Einaudi are formidable tools for understanding the dynamics of Italian
economic history during its liberal age and the early fascist period. The paper is also focused on the
different attitudes of Einaudi and Albertini on liberalism and the concrete consequences of its possible
application to the Italian situation
