Abstract
The paper examines the role of the Italian Parliament during the First World War, starting from a specific event, the crisis of the Salandra government (June 1916). The parliamentary debates reveal some changes in the relation between the legislative and the executive powers as well as in the parliamentary behaviour. The “patriotic collaboration”, to which the two Chambers were called, led to a substantial marginalization of the Parliament, more than in other European countries.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
