The turn of time which started with the transition of the Italian political sy- stem towards polarized democracy after the end of the Cold War has seen a relevant increase of interest from historians in the relations between Catho- lic political culture, conservatism and right-wing trends in the Republican era. Many books and essays brought to light, in the last decades, the pivotal historical question of the ambivalence between the inescapable “center”, intermediate position of Christian-Democratic party in the so-called “first Republic” and the right-wing, anti-communist sentiment prevailing in its constituency. Such an interest, though, has never resulted in systematic hi- storiographic works on the history of Catholic conservatism in Italy.

Keywords: Catholicism, right-wing, conservatism, political parties, Italian democracy
