Abstract

The work starts from the assumption that the prospect of investments and reforms that will characterize the PNRR will contribute to giving a concrete and current form to national unity, in particular by virtue of the investments planned in the South. The crucial point will concern the political direction that will animate these investments and that is if they will be placed in a purely welfare scenario or if they will put in place the conditions of «autonomy» of the South from the State, according to the aspiration that was of Salvemini and that still today it remains the desirable horizon.
