Besides his papers, Levi-Civita’s interests in the field of flat hydrodynamics are described also through the works he suggests to his students. In this case we quote at least J. Struik (Rockfeller bursar in Rome in 1924–1925) and A. Weinstein (Rockfeller bursar in Rome in 1926–1927), who will become after his exile in Europe and in the U.S.A. because of Nazi purges — a real authority in the field of hydrodynamics.
