Collection of writings on Salvatore Mannironi's life (1901-1971). Founder of the People's Party after World War I, lawyer and journalist in the 1920s and 1930s in Nuoro, stronghold of the antifascism of an educated and courageous professional bourgeoisie. Mannironi, in the post-World War II period, would be one of the most active members of the Commission of 75 in the Constituent Assembly, later a Christian Democratic parliamentarian for five terms in the House and Senate, undersecretary of key ministries, and finally a minister. Private correspondence, articles, records of the repressive apparatuses during the regime, and parliamentary reports composed a picture that transcends the individual biography by revealing the commitment of the new ruling class, that would build the foundations of the Italian republican democracy by opening it to regional autonomy.
