Il Foglio Numismatico. Periodico di letteratura sulla scienza delle monete is the editorial project directed by Luca Lombardi, founded in 2022, born from a dedication to a discipline which, despite its millennia-long history, continues to offer extraordinary opportunities for historical reflection.
The journal was established with the aim of deepening and sharing knowledge of numismatic literature, essential not only to the study of coins but also to reconstructing the complex, and often tortuous, paths that have led to the creation of knowledge. This objective is pursued by highlighting the contributions of scholars who have left an indelible mark on this field.
The establishment of Il Foglio Numismatico responds to a need felt within the Italian publishing landscape: the absence of a periodical devoted exclusively to numismatic literature. The journal therefore seeks to fill this gap, offering a resource for scholars, collectors and enthusiasts, with the ambition of becoming a point of reference for those dedicated to this area of study.
One of the distinctive features of Il Foglio Numismatico is its particular format: each issue is produced on a single, large sheet. This unique format not only offers a pleasant reading experience, but also reflects a commitment to elegance and quality, characteristics considered fundamental for a publication of this kind.
The mission of Il Foglio Numismatico is therefore clear: to inform and enrich knowledge of numismatic literature. Every published contribution is the result of rigorous and original research, intended to stimulate curiosity and interest in lesser-known aspects of the science of coins.
