The paper illustrates the relationship between the idea of human capita and Italian history of economic thought.

Abstract
The paper illustrates the relationship between the idea of human capita and Italian history of economic thought. Italian tradition frequently adopted a moralising idea of economics in which the role played by “education”, “knowledge” and “will” was broadly expanded. It is possible to identify, in some economists, a known but not analytically specified predisposition to categorise human beings and their acquired skills as a form of capital (Gioja, Cattaneo, Messedaglia, Pareto and Beneduce), even though there are some exceptions (Coletti).
