Abstract: The years between 1943 and 1948 constitute a historical phase full of exemplary and paradigmatic events for the genesis and development of the current Italian constitutional order. The lecture will focus on the historical events and legal aspects that initiated the constitutional transition process from the Fascist regime to the Italian Republic. After the conclusion of the armistice, for about twenty months the power of government in Italy was exercised simultaneously by four distinct authorities: the Italian Social Republic and the German occupation forces in the North; the Allied military government and the Monarchy in the South. The real phase of constitutional transition began in April 1944 with the so-called
“Salerno Pact”, which led to the establishment of the Lieutenancy government. The Lieutenancy government would remain in force until the referendum of 2 June 1946, when the Italian people, for the first time by universal suffrage, were called upon to choose between the Monarchy and the Republic and to elect the deputies of the Constituent Assembly whose task was to draft the new Constitution. During the lecture particular attention will be devoted to the drafting phases of the Italian Constitution, using the acts of the Constituent Assembly as the main source.
