Abstract
The years between the two World Wars seem to have been a "golden age" in research on the foundations of probability in Italy. By analyzing publications dating from 1900 to 1915, the present article uncovers an interest in the foundational problems of probability, a conviction that logic would play a role in resolving these problems, and varying conceptions of logic, all of which predate and serve as an historical foundation for this "golden age.".
