Keywords:

Abstract
The opuscule from P. Galluppi is the leitmotiv of this research, focused on the diffusion and the reactions provoked by this writing during the convulse years of 1820-1821 in the Reign of the Two Sicilys, centered on the need for press freedom. The Galluppi text was written on behalf of the law regulating this freedom inescapable for the contruction of a liberal state and for the emergence of public opinion. Also, the writing mobilizes the censure, in its double role as repressing and punitive stake, while liberalism failed yet to be confirmed and absolutism renounced to disappear.Downloads
