At the time of the founding of the School of Social Sciences, historical studies were not present as an autonomous discipline, but they soon acquired—and have since maintained—a significant role in the educational program of the School of Political Science "Cesare Alfieri." In the early years, key scholarly figures included Augusto Franchetti, Niccolò Rodolico, and Carlo Morandi. Over time, the chronological focus shifted forward—from the Middle Ages to the Modern Age—and eventually settled on Contemporary History, a discipline formally inaugurated at the "Cesare Alfieri" School by Giovanni Spadolini, who won the first professorship competition in Italy for this subject and became a mentor to an important generation of scholars.
