The essay deals with the relationship between the Italian Constitution of 1948 and the ideas of the anti-fascist resistance movement (1943-45). The “Constitution stemming from the Resistance” is a widespread commonplace. The contribution tries to go into this link in the light of Italian constitutional history and European constitutional culture. Three fundamental topics are considered: constitutional compromise, the role and conception of political parties and the renewed interest in foreign experience from the members of the Constituent Assembly.
