The merit of overcoming the fatigues of translating and editing goes to Giorgio Pinton ... our recent historiography has not produced anything comparable to the work of Garin in terms of a profound erudition ... Garin's history ends with a chapter on the renaissance and decline of Idealism ... [Pinton and Fabiani added a updating chapter], not by chance titled, With Garin, on Italian Thought from 1943 to 2004. ... written in the spirit of Garin, which indispensable takes into account the steps forward made by the Italian thinkers in the last decades of the twentieth-century, thanks also to the contact with the great innovations imported from some other countries.
