The essay is meant to draw the image that Norberto Bobbio had of Italian cultural identity starting from a dicotomy tipically belonging to Bobbio’s thought: the one up to which a «civil Italy» (minoritarian, rational in the Enlightments meaning of the term, democratic, of which he thought he belonged to) is opposed to the «other Italy» (tendentially majoritarian, spiritualistic, self-pleased and actually authoritarian). Making reference to Bobbio’s main works, from the well known Profilo ideologico to the trilogy consisting of Italia civile, Italia fedele, and La mia Italia, the author draws up a balance of the relationship always a tormented one, moving from a deep pessimism to periods ot trust between one of the most genuine interpreters of liberal-democratic thought and his «national identity».
