Abstract

Despite the identical levels of industrialization and the assonant political contexts, Marx’s reception in Italy and Spain was completely different and showed no reciprocal influences. The Italian works analysed crucial topics of Marx’s theory and highlighted a thorough knowledge of the texts, whereas an out-and-out Spanish debate on Marx never occurred. However, such a result can be regarded a predictable consequence of the material conditions under which the Spanish analysis of Marx took place. Conversely, it highlights the substance and the exceptionality of the Italian debate, thus putting in perspective the primary critical conclusions regarding Marx’s reception in Italy. In spite of Italy’s economic marginality, the extraordinary richness of its cultural climate produced the ‘miracle’ of a flourishing Marxism, which effectively lasted until the fascist regime
