Quotes

  • That the pure parliamentary regime, as we now have it in Italy, as it is in France and in some other countries, can and should last long, so that it can become a stable and normal form of government, we do not believe in any probable way.
    • Che possa e debba durare lungamente il regime parlamentare puro, quale l'abbiamo ora in Italia, quale è in Francia e in qualche altro paese, che esso possa quindi divenire una forma di governo stabile e normale, noi non crediamo in nessun modo probabile.
    • Da Teorica dei governi e governo parlamentare, Unione tipografico-editrice torinese, 1982, p. 535. ISBN 8802037515
