the difficult financial period following the First World War. Despite budget difficulties Mortara managed to keep up the international scientific prestige of the journal while managing to attract new famous foreign collaborators such as Eugen Slutsky. Fourth series (Milan series) Meanwhile, in 1922 Mortara moved from Rome to Milan, where he was called to teach in the new Faculty of Law at the University of Milan and then to direct the statistical institute at Bocconi University. The journal management would then be moved to Milan, starting the third series of the journal in 1923. A double mourning almost immediately marked the new series.

Instead, both Del Vecchio and Mortara had to be removed from Bocconi University and from the Giornale degli economisti. The first reaction was Mortara to think of closing the Journal. He could not bear the idea that the Giornale degli economisti would fall into the hands of those who had wanted the racial laws: "Alongside the four children who followed him to Brazil, there was a son of intellect
