The essay investigates the evolution of Europeanist thought in Liguria, particularly in Genoa, from Giuseppe Mazzini’s cosmopolitan nationalism to the federalist ideals emerging after the Second World War. It traces the continuity of this intellectual tradition through figures such as Attilio Cabiati, Alfredo Poggi, and Giuseppe Rensi, who sustained Europeanist discourse under Fascism. By connecting Mazzinian universalism with antifascist resistance, the study demonstrates how Ligurian Europeanism served as a cultural and political bridge between nineteenth-century democratic patriotism and the post-war foundation of the European Federalist Movement, contributing to the redefinition of Europe’s democratic and peace-oriented identity.

Abstract
The essay investigates the evolution of Europeanist thought in Liguria, particularly in Genoa, from Giuseppe Mazzini’s cosmopolitan nationalism to the federalist ideals emerging after the Second World War. It traces the continuity of this intellectual tradition through figures such as Attilio Cabiati, Alfredo Poggi, and Giuseppe Rensi, who sustained Europeanist discourse under Fascism. By connecting Mazzinian universalism with antifascist resistance, the study demonstrates how Ligurian Europeanism served as a cultural and political bridge between nineteenth-century democratic patriotism and the post-war foundation of the European Federalist Movement, contributing to the redefinition of Europe’s democratic and peace-oriented identity.
