Title: Epicarmo Corbino. Un economista liberale guarda all'economia dell'ambiente: impressioni e riflessioni 
(Epicarmo Corbino. A liberal economist looks at the economics of the environment: impressions and reflections)
Abstract: Epicarmo Corbino was an economist, a liberal politician, and a forerunner of environmental studies.
He was an economist whose scientific background and ethical faith cannot be related to a particular
trust in economic theory. Rather, what is important to him is real life and work experience. In this respect,
Corbino occupies a peculiar position, which however is not in contrast with the great tradition
of the Italian liberal economists who fought against any form of protectionism. It should be also highlighted
the strong interest that Corbino showed towards common goods, and in particular, the environment
