The book “Financial Literacy in Italy: Empirical Evidence and Theoretical Proposals” by Stella, Filotto, and Cervellati (2023) responds to the issue of financial literacy in Italy, both in theoretical and empirical view. This book is driven by the escalating intricacy of financial instruments and the evolving requirements of individuals, necessitating the implementation of strategies aimed at enhancing individuals’ financial literacy.
