In 1865 the administrative unification laws of the kingdom of Italy were issued. On the occasion of the 150th anniversary, the department of legal sciences of the University of Florence has organized a study project on the transformations that in the last fifty years have affected the apparatuses and activities of the administration of the republic, seen in its articulated local government and in its membership of the European Union. The research involved, in the space of almost two years, more than one hundred and fifty scholars from Italian universities. The results were presented on 1, 5 and 16 October 2015 in Florence, the city that had been the capital of Italy one hundred and fifty years earlier and which in 1965 had hosted the conference celebrating the centenary of the same administrative unification laws. |
