Abstract

Angela Groppi, in a reflection on the complex history of the journal «Memoria» (1981-1993), quotes Josef A. Schumpeter’s well-known conception of the entrepreneur as an innovator, and of the strong connection between invention and innovation. Angela Groppi has been one of the scholars who have been more aware of the difficulties historical research has met in the field of Gender Studies in the twentieth century’s last decades. Nevertheless, she has been “obdurately” most consistent with Schumpeter’s theory: an innovating project is bound to be fulfilled and made known. This is a stern call to an historian in her profession, and a deep and creative value in her life.

Keywords: research “policy”, welfare in modern history, Jews in Rome in the 18th century
