Abstract
As was seen in ♥ 9, the French propaganda during the war often used the various means of cultural exchanges between the two countries. These exchanges expanded rapidly during the decade immediately preceding the war. The desire was to act on several sectors of cultural and academic life: travels of professors and students, journals based on the cooperation between Italy and France, foundations of Italian Institutes in France and French Institutes in Italy, propaganda of Italian and French cultures in the different countries. All kinds of disciplines were concerned: philosophy, literature, physiology, and naturally science.
