Conclusion. 330 $aThis book traces the origins, life and death of Administrative Science in Italy as an academic discipline between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It does so by combining the study of ideas, institutional history, intellectual history and social history. The Faculty of Law first introduced Administrative Science in 1875, with the aim of providing the elite with the necessary tools to distribute wealth more equally, to take care of the population and, thus, to make the young Italian State more legitimate in the eyes of the emerging masses. Law and social sciences were merged with the aim of increasing reforms, including that of creating a State of Happiness for all citizens. Throughout its 70-year existence, Administrative Science was deprived of its contents and scientific independence, and academically overshadowed by Administrative and Public law. Finally, although the liberal elites discarded the reformer project of Administrative Science even before Fascism turned everythingupside down, most of the original traits of this knowledge were absorbed into Fascist corporate and totalitarian structures. Andrea Rapini is Professor in Contemporary History at the Department of Education and Humanities, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy. 410 0$aItalian and Italian American Studies,$x2635-294X 606 $aItaly$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aIntellectual life$xHistory 606 $aSocial history 606 $aHistory of Italy 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aIntellectual History 606 $aHistory of Ideas 606 $aSocial History 615 0$aItaly$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aIntellectual life$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial history. 615 14$aHistory of Italy. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aIntellectual History. 615 24$aHistory of Ideas. 615 24$aSocial History. 676 $a025.4935 676 $a351.45 700 $aRapini$b Andrea$0557340 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910639888003321 996 $aA Social History of Administrative Science in Italy$93003893 997 $aUNINA
