Quick Summary

Del rinnovamento civile d’Italia (On the Civil Renewal of Italy) is a work by Vincenzo Gioberti, published in 1851. It reflects a shift in Gioberti's political thought, showing greater approval of democracy following the popular uprisings of 1848.

Gioberti, a philosopher and politician, was a key figure in the Risorgimento, the 19th-century movement for Italian unification. Initially, in his work Del primato morale e civile degli italiani (1843), he proposed an Italian federation led by the pope. However, Del rinnovamento civile d’Italia indicates a move towards a more democratic ideal, influenced by the revolutionary spirit of 1848. This later work led to his writings being placed on the Index of Forbidden Books by the papacy.
