In particular, Pioletti focuses attention on the question of the territories: for the social scientist Sismondi at the end of the 1830s, they are functional and ideally constitutional units, where rules and customs apply that alone can deal with the risks of haphazard economic growth. Small localities, small estates: from these elements Sismondi also draws inspiration for an original theory of government – and for the national and local relations in the modern States – which, albeit presenting itself in 1836, was clearly affected by an interest that had been manifested in the historiographic field from 1807.","PeriodicalId":184432,"journal":{"name":"Annali Sismondi","volume":"204 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126974560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The centrality of these categories, to which is flanked that of “crisis,” contributes to revealing Sismondian historiography in all its complexity, releasing it from the simplistic liquidations effected by authoritative European historians during the “century of history.” The author shows a direct as well as very strong bond between historiographic production, constitutional reflection and economic thinking; but also shows how the evolution of the whole Sismondian conception of the social sciences has evolved over the years, achieving some very original results in the historiographic field warranting further investigation.","PeriodicalId":184432,"journal":{"name":"Annali Sismondi","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131270339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As compared with the existing studies, the author inserts that polemic within the living fabric of Manzonian opus, also availing himself of numerous and little known archival sources. The outcome is a relationship of communication and confrontation between the two great intellectuals that is far more elaborate and fruitful that what might have been thought. Even Manzoni nurtured reservations as to Counter-Reformation culture, and if in the Osservazioni written against Chapter CXXVII of the Histoire des Republiques italiennes he had put forward an almost integral confutation of the Genevan’s thesis, in other works he supposedly showed a far more complex thinking on the matter. The author also shows how the reading of Sismondi’s work (not only the Republiques , but also the Tableau de l’agriculture toscane and even the Histoire des Francais ) turned out to be decisive for the founder of the Italian historical novel.","PeriodicalId":184432,"journal":{"name":"Annali Sismondi","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124356630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
