It is known how the vertical subsidiarity has acquired a growing importance in Italy in the last 15 years after the affirmation of this principle on the EU Treaties. The reform of the Italian Constitution Title V, carried out in 2001, has introduced the principle of the vertical subsidiarity which concerns the Government levels repartition among EU, State, Regions and Municipality. In that constitutional reform there are also hints on the horizontal subsidiarity but not adequately developed.
The aim of the Meeting is to increase the value of the horizontal subsidiarity and to evaluate the importance of an institutional, civil (social) economic model which should characterize the XXI century Italy. Our National history has adopted different "models" sometimes consciously and other times unconsciously, at times trying to import them from other Countries, other times generating them autonomously.
In this no-project situation many spontaneous enterprises are born in Italy which on the one hand have had success and on the other hand probably lay the foundations for a conceptual paradigm of the community liberalism and of the subsidiarity.
The aim of the Meeting is to evaluate if that is exactly so, starting from a deep knowledge of the postwar Italian development.
