Abstract

The structural changes championed by the Spanish government in  1957 heralded a period of transformation that did not leave the Italian authorities indifferent. The beginning of a new stage of technical reforms in the economic and administrative fields drew the attention of Italian diplomats, also due to the political consequences of the reforms in relation to other Member States of the European Economic Community (EEC). The purpose of this paper is to analyze Rome’s policy in relation to Spain’s changing trajectory, including the contribution of some Italian intellectuals to the final phase of institutionalization of the Franco regime.
