Abstract

Which consequences did Rosmini’s mission to Rome in 1848, described in the first part of his La missione a Roma, produce on the important events concerning him in 1848-49, as related in the second part of this work? Actually, he mentions only his appointment as cardinal, without specifying further consequences. This paper aims at illustrating that a careful reading of La missione a Roma can decisively help to highlight this subject.
