Abstract

This article presents a reflection - supported by the Gramscian theoretical and methodological categories of unbalanced modernity and Caesarism, thought of in a ‘post-totalitarian’ way - on the transformations and deep contradictions brought about by the ‘dualist’ North-South development model, having as a privileged focus the right-wings in the government of Naples and Italy’s ‘Meridione’ at the time of the post-World War II reconstruction.
