ERNESTO DE MARTINO A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE IN ITALY AT THE MID OF THE XXTH CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: This article is meant to underline a peculiar pro-European perspective of a character little known in the contemporary scientific world. Ernesto de Martino, recognized nowadays as the father of Italian modern anthropology, has dreamt a dream, which was to become true but after his departure from the living. He has dreamt a dream of a culturally and geographically united Europe, in which the Cultural South would be appreciated for its intrinsic folk gems. He pledged allegiance to the vision of that Europe which he recognized as his homeland.
