Giuseppe Maranini’s name is mainly linked to his 1950’s and 1960’s critique of «partitocrazia» and of the Italian constitutional set-up established in 1948. Regarded, in the light of his later works, simply as a liberal thinker, both his critics and his esteemers have substantially neglected his juvenile reflections; as a consequence they missed to perceive that his research had actually arisen from a pressing and radical attack of the fundamental theoretical premises of liberalism and of the XIX century state. Rereading and placing in the intellectual background of the period his 1920’s and 1930’s essays, the paper argues that in Maranini’s juvenile reflections it is possible to identify a conscious contribution to Political Science. Although he followed in Gaetano Mosca’s Political Science footsteps, Maranini abandoned his liberal premises and searched for the deep root of political phenomena in the organizational grassroots of groups and conflicts.
