The organizing Committee of the (quadriennal) XIX Congress of Unione Matematica Italiana has delegated prof Salvatore Coen to edit the publication of a volume dedicated to those mathematicians who have been associated with Bologna University from 1861 to 1960. The general idea was that this volume had to consider the many illustrious scientific personages who have carried out their activity in various roles at Bologna’s university (professors and students) during the first century after the unification of Italy. The objective was fully achieved, even exceeded. The work of preparation of the book has developed over a period of about two years. The published volume contains 23 different contributions, written by 28 different authors. The volume consists of about 550 pages. Most of the contributions are of a historical nature with a few being work in mathematical research in Bologna. The studied personalities are Ugo Amaldi, Eugenio Beltrami, Enrico Bompiani, Mario Burgatti Lamberto Cattabriga, Gianfranco Cimmino, Luigi Cremona, Federigo Enriques, Dario Graffi, Beppo Levi, Salvatore Pincherle, Bruno Pini, Beniamino Segre, Leonida Tonelli, Tullio Viola , Giuseppe Vitali and others. The topics covered are varied. We name a few: Non-Euclidean Geometry, Complex Analysis, Differential Geometry, Functional Analysis, Theory of Lie, Algebraic Geometry, Mechanics, , Calculus of Variations, Parabolic Potential theory, Philosophy of Science, Fractional Calculus, Measure Theory , Theory of Lie Groups, Difference Equations, Plane Curves and their Moduli, Linear Constant Coefficients Partial Differential Equations, Cimmino Integrals. New perspectives have appeared studying the work of E. Beltrami through the publication of new important unpublished correspondence. New studies on teacher training schools (Scuole di Magistero) by examining the work of Enriques in the school of Bologna; new studies also on the Italian Encyclopedia of Elementary Mathematics, The figures of F. Enriques and S. Pincherle are each examined by three different contributions.

Abstract
The organizing Committee of the (quadriennal) XIX Congress of Unione Matematica Italiana has delegated prof Salvatore Coen to edit the publication of a volume dedicated to those mathematicians who have been associated with Bologna University from 1861 to 1960. The general idea was that this volume had to consider the many illustrious scientific personages who have carried out their activity in various roles at Bologna’s university (professors and students) during the first century after the unification of Italy. The objective was fully achieved, even exceeded. The work of preparation of the book has developed over a period of about two years. The published volume contains 23 different contributions, written by 28 different authors. The volume consists of about 550 pages. Most of the contributions are of a historical nature with a few being work in mathematical research in Bologna. The studied personalities are Ugo Amaldi, Eugenio Beltrami, Enrico Bompiani, Mario Burgatti Lamberto Cattabriga, Gianfranco Cimmino, Luigi Cremona, Federigo Enriques, Dario Graffi, Beppo Levi, Salvatore Pincherle, Bruno Pini, Beniamino Segre, Leonida Tonelli, Tullio Viola , Giuseppe Vitali and others. The topics covered are varied.

New perspectives have appeared studying the work of E. Beltrami through the publication of new important unpublished correspondence.
