@ Jose Thank you for your reference, I am aware of the meaning of the word, I am looking for the appropriate English word to use.

Other examples of this term: Scopo della mia ricerca è indagare tale FORTUNA in Inghilterra, sulla scorta di un lavoro analogo che sto per pubblicare come monografia dedicato all’Italia...

Here, in your context, "influence" could also work as it's more general

La fortuna moderna di Tirteo, in realtà, era partita qualche decennio prima, già alla fine del Settecento in Francia. La Rivoluzione aveva celebrato, accanto al mito della Repubblica romana, anche il perfetto ordine spartano; e l’Italia avrebbe seguito il fervore filospartano d’Oltralpe con relativa rapidità. - https://rivistatradurre.it/2017/05/e-bello-e-divino-per-luom...

neutral JohnMcDove : I don't see how "enterprise" would fit this context. "Popularity" or "success" as noted by Lise, does the trick, IMO.
