Abstract: We study Talenti's type symmetrization properties for solutions of linear stationary and evolution problems. Our main result establishes the comparison in norm between the solution of a problem and its symmetric version when nonlocal diffusion defined through integrable kernels is replacing the usual local diffusion defined by a second order differential operator. Using an approximation argument, we recover, as a corollary of our results, the classical Talenti's theorem. A novelty of our approach is that we replace the measure geometric tools employed in Talenti's proof by the use of the Riesz's rearrangement inequality, giving thus an alternative and somehow simpler proof than Talenti's one.
