The essay presents the main scholars of Friulian history and the most frequent themes in Friulian history studies between the middle of the 19th century and the first fifteen years of the 20th century. Two aspects emerge: on the one hand, topics related to the Middle Ages are rather frequent and, on the other, there are several figures of passionate amateurs, even serious, but lacking scholarly training. The shift was represented by the appearance of professional scholars in history studies, such as Pier Silverio Leicht and Pio Paschini. They studied and worked in Italian universities, and in Friuli they managed to found innovative history journals or improve on them («Memorie storiche forogiuliesi»: 1905). The Società storica friulana, founded by Leicht in 1911, was the institution that attracted the best local historians and gave continuity and scientific value to traditional themes; these traditional themes were used to exploit the past in order to promote patriotic values (Friulian and Italian) characterised by tendencies towards independence in the wake of the first world war.
