Abstract
Puglia in the first half of the forties was a cultural basin ripe for the organization of a Congress of the National Liberation Committees (CLN), which would start the path to the Constituent Assembly and the Republic: the Region, in fact, was full of scholars capable of discuss all the political landscape with great skill, some of whom had the opportunity to compete in this great cultural reservoir that was then the publisher Laterza and, for some, the same Laterza’s private house under the inspiration of Benedetto Croce. Among the names of contributors to the editions Laterza appeared figures or leaders of left and extreme left groups, scholars and researchers of various disciplines, as well as addresses of editorial policy, albeit far from the masses, were secondary school teachers and liberal academics. The same books, in fact, formed at the same time liberals, socialists and communists, idealists and materialists, all political and cultural figures central to anti-democratic era on the eve of World War II and then to the Democratic Puglia.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
