Firenze, Olschki Ed. 2007, cm.17x24, pp.XVI,246, brossura Coll.Accademia Toscana di Scienze e Lettere «La Colombaria» - Serie Studi, vol. 235 Nobile, esponente del moderatismo e funzionario granducale, nella Toscana preunitaria Luigi Serristori (1793-1857) fu una personalità di confine, la cui visione politica conciliava identità aristocratica e senso dello stato, fedeltà dinastica e progressismo 'napoleonico'. Ricostruendone la biografia fino all'epilogo fallimentare del 1848-49, questo volume fa luce su alcune contraddizioni profonde dello stato 'amministrativo' lorenese, connesse all'ambiguo compromesso fra la ristrettezza della sua base sociale e i limiti della sua impalcatura istituzionale. A nobleman, exponent of the moderate movement and civil servant in the administration of the Grand Duchy, Luigi Serristori (1793-1857) was a 'borderline' personality whose political vision conciliated aristocratic identity and sense of the State, loyalty to the Lorena dynasty and Napoleonic progressiveness. By reconstructing Serristori's biography until his definitive failure in 1848-49, the book sheds light on some profound contradictions of the Tuscan «administrative» State, connected to the ambiguous compromise between the lack of its social basis and the weakness of its institutional structure.
