(2016) Italian psychology and Jewish emigration under fascism, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.

It was intellectually lively in its present, and not just in memories of its Renaissance past, even if the stereotype of the city and of Italy abroad is one of literati and artists. Laura Fermi, who immigrated to the United States in January 1939, used to get irritated when on telling American acquaintances that her husband was at Columbia University, they exclaimed: "How interesting! Does he teach music or Italian?" The illustrious physicist obviously did neither, and neither did the overwhelming majority of Italian intellectuals who emigrated as opponents of Fascism or as Jews or both.1
