Abstract In this paper we give an overview of the interactions between Italian and American algebraic geometers during the first decades of the 20th century. We focus on three mathematicians—Julian L. Coolidge, Solomon Lefschetz, and Oscar Zariski—whose relations with the Italian school were quite intense. More generally, we discuss the importance of this influence in the development of algebraic geometry in the first half of the 20th century.
