Abstract

The essay aims to analyse the spatial reconfiguration developed in Italy following the French revolution, focusing on the administrative reforms carried out in the frame of the French Republics and the Napoleonic domination. Both contemporaries and a historiographic tradition has tended to conceive the revolutionary departmentalization and the Napoleonic spatial organization in terms of a top-down imposition along paradigms alien to local culture and practices of space. Nevertheless, a perspective focused on the pivotal transformation of the territorialisation in such a historical moment — in the framework of the renewed attention recently devoted by historiography to the spatial dimension ¬— sheds light, on the one hand, on a more complex relationship between the French re-spatialization and the local territorial development, and, on the other hand, on the deep intertwining between administrative and socio-political spaces.
