On the basis of a centralized and hierarchical control of the territory, Italian State was founded in the nineteenth century.

Lo Stato italiano è stato fondato nell’Ottocento secondo un modello di dominio del territorio centralizzato e gerarchizzato, sacrificando le aspettative municipalistiche e federalistiche emerse durante il Risorgimento. L’autore indaga sui fattori che hanno determinato lo sviluppo accentrato dell’amministrazione pubblica nello Stato liberale e nello Stato autoritario fascista e sui tentativi della scienza giuridico-amministrativa di proporre moduli di organizzazione in linea orizzontale. La ricerca, utilizzando un approccio storico-comparativo, ricostruisce le linee del conflitto tra monismo e pluralismo giuridico nei secoli XIX-XX ed individua i percorsi evolutivi del policentrismo italiano nell’ordinamento costituzionale.

Abstract
On the basis of a centralized and hierarchical control of the territory, Italian State was founded in the nineteenth century. The historical process which concretely took place weakened the expectations of both local administrations and the federalist supporters emerged during the “Risorgimento”. The Author analyses the factors that provoked the development of a centralized public administration in the liberal theory of the State and in the totalitarian ideology of fascism. He also examines the way scholars (interested in legal-administrative fields) recommended some legal models based on “horizontal approach” concerning the distribution of State-administrative powers. Taking into account a comparative- historical perspective, and focusing the attention over XIX and XX centuries, this paper aims at describing the contrasts between two academic-juridical approaches, legal monism and legal pluralism. In this sense, the Author identifies the way the Italian polycentrism has been evolving, in terms of constitutional law, since Italy’s foundation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
