L’Italia repubblicana di Tommaseo tra letteratura e politica
2020
The essay reconstructs the presence and the role of Niccolò Tommaseo (1802-1874) in the Unification of Italy by examining the overall republican vision of Italy through his works, inspired by the ideas of liberal Catholicism. The paragraphs of the article highlight the cultural and political experiences he lived through, both in the years spent in exile in Paris and in the years before and after 1848. Particular attention is paid to the intellectual relationships that link Tommaseo to Florence, where he spends a good part of his life establishing himself as a writer and a patriot committed to national independence, always striving for a balanced relationship between Church and State even af…
Rosmini e Tocqueville. Le ragioni cristiane del liberalismo
2020
Pur essendo coeve, le biografie intellettuali di Antonio Rosmini e Alexis de Tocqueville non mostrano piena reciprocità di espliciti richiami bibliografici intercorsi tra i due. Il confronto diretto, non l’unico ma senz’altro il più approfondito, è stato operato da Rosmini limitatamente al libro della Democrazia in America pubblicato nel 1835. Il filosofo di Rovereto lo pone in risalto nella definizione di molti argomenti trattati nella Filosofia della politica del 1839 e, in seguito, lo riprende occasionalmente in altri suoi studi. Non risultano, invece, riferimenti da parte di Tocqueville a opere rosminiane. Fanno eccezione alcuni contatti epistolari avvenuti tra giugno e ottobre 1849 dur…
Il concetto cristiano di corporazione in Léon Harmel
2015
«The first modern corporate experiment» was defined by what Pierre Louis Léon Harmel (1829-1915) had achieved in his yarn factory in Val des bois in the town of Warmeriville close to Rheims in the French department of Marne. Harmel was a French Catholic entrepreneur very sensitive to the social issues of his time. Harmel, while he was progressively turning away from the paternalism of his father, although he was nicknamed "le Bon Père", moved along the tracks of the social doctrine of the Church and the principles of social Catholicism, inspired in particular by Œuvre des Cercles by Rene La Tour du Pin and Albert de Mun. He decided to turn his factory in a kind of community where the basic …

Le culte en quête de signes. Une lecture de la campagne du « Denier de l’Église »
2010
Using a semiotic approach, this article analyses the communication actions of the Catholic Church, from a de-centred point of view. Indeed, rather than focusing on the communicational values of the evangelical message, we examine the way that the Church communicates outside its institutional and spiritual sphere, in the profane world of the media, through the example of the "campagne du Denier" fundraising campaign. This is both a fundraising activity, and a message aimed at Catholics, in a sector - public charity and donations - which is highly competitive. As a result, the Church must (re)define its position, the public that it constructs through its discourse, and its discourse itself, i…
A GOVERNMENT WITHOUT PRIDE. ANTONIO ROSMINI’S “CATHOLIC” MODERNITY
2020
Antonio Rosmini is considered one of the leading Catholic philosophers in modern age. His reflections on politics, law and society can be very useful in facing the challenges coming from the so-called populist movements. M. Nicoletti suggests, in his last work, to consider Rosmini’s conception of human person not only as theLeitmotivof his political philosophy but, broadly speaking, as the real chance to build a society in line with the great tradition of Modernity and Christian values.
Tra immanenza e trascendenza. Saggi teologico-politici su e oltre Carl Schmitt
2019
L’Occidente e l’Europa stanno attraversando oggi una fase di grande trasformazione dovuta a fattori di tipo economico, politico e culturale. Anche la Chiesa cattolica, sempre più proiettata sotto Papa Francesco su uno scenario globale, è partecipe di questi rivolgimenti di cui nessuno è in grado di calcolare gli esiti ultimi. Alcune categorie elaborate dal giurista cattolico tedesco Carl Schmitt possono offrire una prospettiva interessante per affrontare le varie questioni sul tappeto dalle quali dipende il futuro dell’Europa, della Chiesa cattolica e della cultura occidentale

When other rules defend dissidents : the situation of Protestants and Orthodox Christians in the Polish - Lithuanian Commonwealth of the Saxon era
2018
The article address the problem of limiting the rights of Protestants and other non-Catholic Christian denominations during the reigns of two kings from the Wettin dynasty - King Augustus II (1697-1733). The process started as early as the second half of the 17th century, but it was fully accomplished in the years 1717-1736. In the article the author discussed the resolutions of the sejms and other legal acts introduced at that time, the aim of which was to eliminate dissenters from public life. The Polish monarchs were inert towards the process. It was the rulers of non - Catholic European states (Prussia, Russia and Great Britain) that helped Protestants an Orthodox Christans in Poland
