The Rockefeller Foundation's support of malaria control and public health in Italy over three decades, the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, was one of the foundation's most successful collaborations in its history. Nearly one-sixth of the funds the Rockefeller Foundation allocated for malaria programs was spent in Italy in those years. Outstanding research, a new and important institution, and decided improvements in public health were historically-significant results. The three most important episodes of this American-Italian relationship were the operations of the Stazione Sperimentale per la Lotta Antimalarica, the founding of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, and the campaign to eradicate mosquitoes in Sardinia. In each of these episodes there was a tension between the international aspects and national aspects of the partnership that to some degree limited its success.
20世纪20年代、30年代和40年代的三十多年间，洛克菲勒基金会对意大利疟疾防治和公共卫生事业的支持，是该基金会历史上最成功的合作之一。那些年里，洛克菲勒基金会拨给疟疾防治项目的资金，近六分之一花在了意大利。杰出的研究成果、一个新的重要机构以及公共卫生状况的显著改善，都是具有历史意义的成果。美意关系中的这三个最重要的事件，分别是抗疟实验站的运作、高级卫生研究院的成立，以及撒丁岛的灭蚊运动。在每一个事件中，合作的国际层面和国家层面之间都存在紧张关系，这在一定程度上限制了合作的成功。
