This article focuses on the relation between federal culture and the meridional problem in a classic text of Italian literature, Carlo Levi's Christ stopped at Eboli. The explanation is articulated in four parts: first, it summarizes the centralist character of the dominant legal culture in Italy and then analyzes the genesis of Levi's masterpiece; In the third part, the political-constitutional themes that emerge from the novel are evidenced, and finally the ambivalent relation between the various types of censorship that reached the author and the heroic genealogy of his life.Downloads
