Servono ancora le regioni? Per una storia del regionalismo in Italia

A fascinating journey through Italian political history, from centralism to autonomist tendencies that still divide the country today. Are the Regions still needed? Isaia Sales and Pietro Spirito reconstruct the roots of regionalism with rigor and clarity, from the illusions of Risorgimento federalism to Fascist centralism, from the prudence of the Constituent Assembly to the era of differentiated autonomy. From federalist utopias to political compromises and secessionist tendencies, the book explains how the fragile balance between center and peripheries has shaped the fate of our democracy and continues to challenge Italy today. A narrative that unites history, politics, and economics, revealing how the Regions have been at the forefront of conflicts, failed reforms, and unfulfilled promises. An urgent and compelling reflection to understand whether Italy's future still depends on them, or whether we need to imagine a new model of national cohesion.
