El federalismo en el debate político y cultural de la Resistencia

A precocious teacher of Philosophy of Law and, later, of Political Science in the late 1930s, an anti-fascist active during the war, he was one of the intellectuals close to the Partito d'Azione. In the postwar period he carried out intense academic and intellectual activity at the University of Turin and was one of the founders of its Faculty of Political Sciences. The text published here for the first time in Spanish was published in Italian in 1973 and represents a true cultural genealogy of federalist thought present in the Italian Resistance. The essay shows how this, however minority it was in quantitative terms, was able to anticipate many of the debates that would take place in the following decades around global cooperation, sovereignty and multilevel governance and confirms, once again , the exceptionality of the Piedmontese intellectual.
