Summary
In modern Italian history, the national Parliament has played a role other thanthe classical functions related to legislation and oversight. Parliament has been essentially a strong mean for the nation-building, the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, since1861, gave common laws and codes to the country, created a national railway network, amalgamated the ruling classes. The paper is directed to try an explanation of this misun-derstanding. In Italy, politics has been more a religious or ideological than a secular orpragmatic matter. This vision, however, has influenced more the intellectuals than the politicians that often have instead managed to agree on shared values.Sing up and download the publications of Eusko Ikaskuntza
