• Description:
  The article provides an overview of the way of the Republic of Italy and the Federal Republic of Germany to the present phase of European integration. The paper is divided into two fundamental parts. In the fi rst part, the authors focused on a comparison of historical backgrounds of Italy and Germany including the second half of 19th century when the two states were about to shape their national identity by way of an unifi cation process under the auspices of Hohenzollern and Savoy dynasties. The factors of both unifi cations were relatively congruent: ambitions of dynasties, presence of clever politicians of Cavour’s or Bismarck’s caliber and fi nally, the necessity to conquer Austria. In Prussia’s case the aim was to defeat France as well.The second part of this article contains an analysis of selected structural and constitutional issues concerning the membership of Italy and Germany in the European Union. In this approach, of particular importance are constitutional grounds of states’ membership in the organization, predominant methods of transposition of the European Law into domestic legal systems as well as problems regarding the eff ectiveness of the EU-law in Italy and Germany. The article also refers to the Italian Constitutional Court and the Federal Constitutional Court and their role as factors, which have been of great relevance for the dynamic progress of states integration within the structures of theEuropean Union.The authors underline that Italy and Germany, considering their legal and political positions in the EU, are not only states with similar historical experiences and problems resulting from these issues (the most important aspects are diff erences concerning the northern and the southern parts of Italy and eastern and western parts in Germany), but they also have comparable possibilities. However, the practice shows that Germany seems to take a better advantage of its political and economic opportunities.;
  In questo saggio si mette in evidenza il ruolo essenziale della Repubblica Italiana e della Repubblica Federale di Germania, cioe dei due stati fondatori delle Comunita europee, che mirano all’integrazione europea completa. Il saggio si articola in due parti: La prima e di carattere storico e riguarda l’Italia e la Germania nell’ottica della seconda meta dell’Ottocento; in questo periodo sia in Italia che in Germania si realizza il lungo processo dell’unifi cazione. Gli autori accennano i componenti relativi all’unifi - cazione quali: l’identita nazionale, il ruolo personale del conte di Cavour e di Bismarck, l’ambizione politica italo-tedesca delle dinastie di Hohenzollern e Savoia per lottare per la loro unifi cazione contro l’Austria e la Francia, che assumono un valore primordiale nel lungo e diff icile processo dell’unifi cazione. La seconda parte invece concerne l’analisi dettagliata della situazione socio-politica e legislativa dei suddetti paesi membri dell’Unione Europea. Gli autori rilevano il fatto da cui risulta che sia l’Italia che la Germania hanno gli stessi problemi di carattere economico, politico e sociale, che si delineano tra il Sud e il Nord (Italia), l’Est e l’Ovest (Germania), pero la Germania solo e capace di risolverli bene.;
  Celem niniejszego opracowania jest przełamanie takiego podejścia i zestawienie dwóch „dużych” państw UE – Włoch i Niemiec. Są one często przedstawiane jako przypadki analogiczne ze względu na zjednoczenia, do których doszło w II poł. XIX wieku (1861 r. – Włochy, 1871 r. – Niemcy). Wprawdzie przyczyny i uwarunkowania tych zjednoczeń miały pewne punkty styczne i pewne punkty różne, ale historycy słusznie dopatrują się jednak wielu analogii. Naturalnie nie sposób przeanalizować i zestawić drogi oraz pozycji obu wskazanych państw w UE, nie sięgając do ich historii nie tylko powojennej, ale także przedwojennej i do XIX wieku. Siłą rzeczy, ze względu na ramy tematyczne opracowania, ta część musi mieć charakter jedynie pewnego rysu historycznego, który jednak odsłoni więcej analogii niż tylko bliskie daty zjednoczenia obu państw.
