Come disciplinare la democrazia? Problemi politico-istituzionali nell’ Italia liberale
How to Domesticate Democracy? Political-institutional Problems in Liberal Italy

Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the fundamental traits of Italian liberalism in the second half of the 19th century. Based on the unique understanding and welding together of different theoretical models (English, French, German), Italian liberalism has been building a ”politics of mediation”, directly connected to the new parameters of the political-social sciences. The main goal is that of neutralising political conflict, in its more extreme manifestations, with respect to a liberal order that seeks to preserve and defend itself from any risk that might creep into the fabric of democracy.
