The goal of this special session on the history of mathematics is to gather together scholars based in Italy and Spain, currently working on the subject with different working approaches and covering a quite wide chronological period. We would like to present current work in an explanatory manner for the general public of mathematicians and people working in different areas of the history of mathematics, and to address key problems of the discipline and explore and foster possible future collaborations.
