The review article deals with the new updated Italian edition of T. G. Masaryk’s book “The New Europe”. In addition to the annotated translation of Masaryk’s text, the volume contains two introductory studies (by the Czech historian Koloman Gajan and by Francesco Leoncini as the editor of the volume), Leoncini’s essayistic epilogue, the chronological overview of Masaryk’s life and the bibliography of works on Masaryk and Czech issues in Italian. Moreover, the appendices include the text of Benedetto Croce’s lecture “Italy and the Czech Lands” and Leoncini’s paper “T. G. Masaryk and Italy”. The review article analyzes especially three key topics depicted in the book – Masaryk’s relation to Italy, the interpretation of Masaryk’s thought as an analogy to Mazzini’s visions, and the question of Masaryk’s legacy for (Central) Europe in the 21st century as it is viewed by Leoncini from the external Italian perspective.
