The authors describe how Guccia, an Italian geometer, was able to establish a mathematical society in Sicily in the late nineteenth century, which by 1914 would grow to become the largest and most international in the world, with one of the most influential journals of the time. The book highlights the challenges faced by Guccia in creating an international society in isolated Palermo, and places Guccia's activities in the wider European context through comparisons with the formation of the London Mathematical Society and the creation of Mittag-Leffler's Acta Mathematica in Stockholm.
Based on extensive searches in European archives, this scholarly work follows both historical and scientific treads, and will appeal to those interested in the history of mathematics and science in general.

“The book is highly recommended for historians of mathematics and historians of science at any stage of their career. The style also makes this book easy to read and the richness of the collected archival materials offers with extreme clarity an overview of the historical and cultural life of Sicily at the beginning of the 20th century.” (Silvia De Bianchi, zbMATH, 2019, 1400.01001)
