Title: Le istituzioni, la politica e la legislazione negli articoli de «La Croce di Savoia» 
(Institutions, policy and legislation in the articles of «La Croce di Savoia»)
Abstract: The journal «La Croce di Savoia» has been considered for a long time a source of great interest in the
historiography on Francesco Ferrara for the particular historical circumstances in which it was published
and for the first-rank role economic ideas had among the contents of its articles. Public finance,
commercial policy and custom duties reform are among its most recurring topics, together with a
wider range of topics of discussion such as: the institutions, their organization and their functioning;
the political action of States and of political parties; the legislation over the judicial organization and
over local authorities.
The essay focuses on the writings pointing out the economic implications of the functioning of the
public sphere, the consequences of alternative institutional structures over national economy, and the
effects of the political choices by government and public authorities on general wealth. The in-depth
study of the contributions to this journal is favoured by an advancement in the knowledge over the
journal which, thanks to archive research, has allowed in the last years to reconstruct its history and
most of all to find out the authors of the articles, which were almost entirely published as anonymo
