Il Baretti's Centenary and the Critique of Croce
The first issue of Il Baretti, published by Piero Gobetti on December 23, 1924, opened with a text by 23-year-old critic Natalino Sapegno titled 'Resoconto di una sconfitta,' which explained the failure of Benedetto Croce's method and system. This year marks the centenary of Gobetti's death. The article notes that Gobetti is absent from current high school curriculum guidelines, yet his early critique of neo-idealism remains relevant today.
