Starting from the Italian unification in 1861, we describe the role of mathematics teaching in the Italian system of education giving an account of the main features of Italian mathematics education, and referring to the official syllabi, to the used textbooks, to the debates. We will see that interesting proposals in a period of about 150 years will always have to face a tendency to rigor as well as a resistance towards innovation.
