Description
Summary:	When Max Dvorák died in 1921 not many works of him were published; two of his students, Johannes Wilde and Karl M. Swoboda, organized and published some of his art history lectures in the famous collections titled 'Kunstgeschichte als Geistesgeschichte'2 and 'Geschichte der italienischen Kunst im Zeitalter der Renaissance'3. The already few publications resulted even fewer in Italian translations, highlighting a resistance by the Italian environment to fully embrace Dvorák's thought. To inquire the reasons behind this unwillingness by Italian scholars will be the main purpose of this essay.
