Title: Il contributo di Dossetti e Fanfani alla Costituzione economica italiana
(The contribution of Giuseppe Dossetti and Amintore Fanfani to the Italian economic constitution)
Abstract: This research aims to reconstruct the contribution of Giuseppe Dossetti and Amintore Fanfani – two
leading and influential catholic deputies – to the drawing of the ‘Italian Economic Constitution’; by
which term we mean the body of rules defining purposes and tools of government in the domain of
the economy. The research intends to show in detail the key role played by Dossetti and Fanfani as to
the three fundamental choices linked to Constitution making: what kind of Charter to approve,
which rights to guarantee, how to enforce them. In the light of Dossetti’s and Fanfani’s contributions,
the Italian Economic Constitution appears more advanced and less contradictory than asserted by
many authoritative scholars.
