The essay explores the Italian political and intellectual debate in the last decades of the 19th century about the relationship between State, society, and the individual. The dual shadow cast by the spectres of Bismarck and the Paris Commune drove Italian liberal intellectuals to demand a stronger executive power against alleged parliamentarist degeneration. In particular, the aim was to promote economic growth and industrial production through tariffs and to prevent upheavals through (albeit insufficient) social legislation. As the colonial turn of the 1880s contributed to strengthening the State, the overall effect led to a modernization project run by an administration wary of social conflict and democratic participation.
