L'Economista Anglofilo. Paolo Balsamo e l'utopia liberale in Sicilia (1787-1816)
2023
Paolo Balsamo -economist and professor of University of Palermo from 1787 to 1812- was a traveller and expert in the most advanced and modern British and European agriculture.

This monography explores Balsamo's intellectual and political figure throug…
Paolo Balsamo, Smithianism and the Birth of Liberalism in Sicily
2020
The article focuses on the transition process of Sicily, between the end of 18th century and the beginning of 19th, from the Ancien Regime to a modern society, underlining the intellectual and political role of the Sicilian economist Paolo Balsamo. The professor of Agriculture and Economics at University of Palermo founded the Sicilian liberalism on Adam Smith’s works and tried to reform the institutions of the island aiming to make them the model of a Smithian nation. The article analyses Balsamo’s work by highlighting the interlacement of culture, social interests and political emergencies, all of which had an effect on how Smithianism was adopted in Sicily.
Rivoluzione o Provvidenza? Una lettura politica della libertà a partire da Rosmini
2022
In this paper, the value that Antonio Rosmini’s works preserve is studied in order to understand the philosophical premises of modernity as a condition for identifying the different visions of politics and the exercise of power that develop among the ideologies of the twentieth century. His reflection, rethought by Augusto Del Noce, becomes a significant moment in the context of Christian thought, because it allows us to link past and present through the background of his political vision in a philosophical key. Rosminian political meditation, compared with Alexis de Tocqueville’s analyzes of democracy, becomes a main way to connect the ideas of Catholics with those of liberals, seeing the …
Aspects "progressistes" de la constitution sicilienne de 1812 dans le cadre du liberalisme européen
2012
La recherche, par l'étude des mémoires, des revues, des documents d'archives et de manuscrits conservés à la Bibliothèque publique de Palerme, à la Bibliothèque centrale de la Région Sicilienne et des archives privées, vise à examiner les aspects novateurs du libéralisme sicilien dans le contexte européen en mettant en évidence le jugement qui a eu lieu en Sicile sur la constitution de Cadix et les raisons qui ont conduit l'aristocratie sicilienne à choisir le modèle britannique bicaméral constitutionnel plutôt que la Constitution plus démocratique espagnole de la même période. Une grande place sera consacrée aux deux phases de l'activité de la constituante sicilienne. La première - du 18 J…
