The analysis is aimed at verifying the researchhypothesis assuming a weakening of the sense of the Italian national identity in favor of regionalidentity. To explain the research problems a historical-comparative method was applied, whichwould allow to attempt to answer if Northern Italy, often identified with Padania, could aspire to bea new independent state.
