Comment

Benedetto Croce, a dominant figure in the Italian and European culture and especially within the idealist movement throughout the first half of the twentieth century, is recognised worldwide as a leading ideologist of liberalism and as an icon of anti-totalitarism.
In his approach to logic, he recognises a clear supremacy of philosophy as the only means to understand and explain reality, science being just an indicator.

Interesting fact

The 5 Euro Benedetto Croce coin from Italy, minted in 2016, features a unique design that incorporates a piece of fabric from the Italian flag into the coin's minting process. This innovative technique creates a distinctive texture and color effect that sets the coin apart from other coins.
