The so-called Giolittian era (1901-1914) was widely studied in the 1950s-60s as a period in which economic, social and political developments marked the shift from a narrow political system to a new liberalism that characterized the Italian path to modernization. The historical problems of the Giolittian period no longer seem to attract attention, as is apparent in the ongoing celebrations of the 150th anniversary. But an in-depth analysis of the Giolittian system of power, its internal lack of balance and the Giolittian years still provide a fundamental key to Italian history for an understanding of entry into the first world war, the origins of fascism and the collapse of the liberal state through its failure to develop into a democratic system integrating all social classes into the life of the State.
Keywords: Italian contemporary history, Giolittian era, modernization, liberalism, democracy
