This thesis provides an examination of the state of financial literacy in Italy, positioning it within a global context. The primary objective is to exhaustively review the financial education initiatives currently implemented across Italy by the government, private sector, and non-profit organizations, identifying their strengths and weaknesses for each initiative. The research presents several case studies to assess the impact of financial education projects. One case study focuses on a school-based project aimed at elementary school children, analyzing its influence on their financial knowledge and behaviors towards money. Another experimental study explores how contemporary online environments affect individuals with advanced financial expertise.
