The article deals with the contribution given by G.I. Ascoli to the formation of the Ital- ian nation. A linear path links his youthful, libertarian patriotism of 1848 to the enlight- ened moderation with which in 1895 he expressed himself on Julian irredentism. Even his science as a linguist cannot be separated from the sentiment of the homeland: a new Italian school of linguistics appeared authoritatively on the international scene; the whole Italian nation drew the stimulus for a growth that had to be above all cultural. This is a patriotism that does not turn into nationalism, because Ascoli, like Cattaneo, believes in the right of nations to build their own history by contributing to the progress of humanity.

Abstract
The article deals with the contribution given by G.I. Ascoli to the formation of the Ital- ian nation. A linear path links his youthful, libertarian patriotism of 1848 to the enlight- ened moderation with which in 1895 he expressed himself on Julian irredentism. Even his science as a linguist cannot be separated from the sentiment of the homeland: a new Italian school of linguistics appeared authoritatively on the international scene; the whole Italian nation drew the stimulus for a growth that had to be above all cultural. This is a patriotism that does not turn into nationalism, because Ascoli, like Cattaneo, believes in the right of nations to build their own history by contributing to the progress of humanity.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
