Abstract

Based on a critical analysis of de Finetti's paper, where the mean variance approach in finance was early introduced to deal with a reinsurance problem, we offer an alternative interpretative key of such an approach to the standard portfolio selection one. We discuss analogies and differences between de Finetti's and Markowitz's geometrical approaches.
