N. 3/2021 L’«europeizzazione» dei rapporti italo-tedeschi dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale (1947-1953)
The article presents a reflection on the rapprochement characterising German-Italian relations between 1947 and the mid-1950s. This was a decisive phase for the beginning of European integration. At that time, the two governments pursued a political strategy that abandoned the focus of German-Italian relations on mere bilateralism in favour of the political message of the "progress of Europe", whereby "Europe" was increasingly presented as a community of destiny or of a "common fate" shared by the two countries, beyond all ideologies.
