Abstract

In this paper, I illustrate the reasons which led Italian geometers – in particular Segre, Castelnuovo and Enriques – to become so concerned with problems pertaining to mathematics teaching, describe the epistemological vision which inspired them, discuss the various ways in which this commitment manifested itself (school legislation, teacher training, textbooks, university lectures, publications, etc.), and make evident the influence of Klein’s ideas and initiatives in education.
