Abstract

This research aims to analyze and contextualize the role of the female figure in the thought and in the main written works by Giandomenico Romagnosi and Giuseppe Ferrari, paying particular attention to the critical remarks and the practical aspects highlighted by the authors. From the objections raised to Elvezio by Romagnosi at the Società Letteraria of Piacenza [Literary Society of Piacenza]—collected in a speech, which was held on June 23, 1789 (22, according to De Giorgi), and entitled Sull’amore delle donne considerato come motore precipuo della Legislazione [On Women’s Love, Considered to Be the Key Driver of Legislation]—to the role of women within the family analyzed by Ferrari in Filosofia della rivoluzione [Philosophy of the Revolution], the themes of the two authors gather the spirit of their time, bringing to light some very interesting aspects of the debate. The research addresses the issue from a critical point of view, taking as a basis some of the major works of Romagnosi and Ferrari and the main literature on the subject. Far from being exhaustive, the analysis intends to extend the reflection on some specific features of the thought of Romagnosi and Ferrari, highlighting, in particular, the vitality and some of the most important contents of the debate on the points considered.
