Scholarship in environmental ethics and philosophy in Italy is strong, with both international and domestic work well documented in the Italian language. Among the first and best known to have dedicated their research to environmental ethics is Sergio Bartolommei (University of Pisa) and Luisella Battaglia (University of Genoa). In more recent years, Serenella Iovino (University of Turin), Mariachiara Tallacchini (Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Milan), and Piergiacomo Pagano (ENEA) have published books on the subject. Authors currently working in the area include Simone Pollo (University La Sapienza of Rome) and Matteo Andreozzi (University of Milan). Given such scholarship, it is perhaps surprising that few academics teach the subject, with just a handful of classes offered regularly.
