ITALIANO: L’ormai più che secolare dibattito sulla Questione meridionale ha una stretta relazione con le tendenze della medievistica italiana nell’epoca della sua professionalizzazione. Lo schema di “due Italie”, rispettivamente caratterizzate dallo sviluppo comunale del Centro-Nord e dalla “arretratezza feudale” del Mezzogiorno, ha origine soprattutto nella costruzione di un canone interpretativo che ha fatto della “civiltà comunale” il centro caratterizzante del Medioevo italiano, leggendo la vicenda meridionale in termini di “assenza di sviluppo”. Tale lettura è stata condivisa dalla storiografia internazionale e da quella italiana fino a tempi recenti. Il saggio illustra e discute le radici e il consolidamento di tale modello nella medievistica del secondo Ottocento e del primo Novecento, identificandovi le origini di un persistente squilibrio nella ricostruzione della storia medievale italiana. / ENGLISH: The more than secular debate on the Southern Question has a close relationship with the trends of Italian medieval studies in the times of their professionalization. The scheme of “two Italies”, respectively featured by the municipal development of the North-Centre and by the “feudal backwardness” of the South, originates above all from the construction of an interpretative canon that considered the “municipal civilization” as the characterizing center of the Italian Middle Ages, reading the Southern history in terms of “lack of development”. This reading has been shared by both international and Italian historiography until recent times. The essay illustrates and discusses the roots and the consolidation of this model in the medieval studies of the late Nineteenth and early Twentieth centuries, identifying in that the origins of a persistent imbalance in the reconstruction of the medieval Italian history.
