Sull’onda della riforma corporativa dello Stato e del dibattito sul corporativismo che si era sviluppato a partire dalla fine degli anni Venti, anche la formazione universitaria vede la nascita di nuove facoltà, come Scienze politiche, corsi di studio e scuole di perfezionamento. Anche l’Università di Roma vide attivare all’interno delle facoltà di Giurisprudenza, Economia e Scienze politiche corsi di diritto ed economia politica, e l’attivazione della Scuola di perfezionamento in scienze corporative. I corsi erano tenuti da personaggi di spicco del fascismo: Bottai, Del Giudice, Zanobini e Balella, tutti impegnati a diffondere presso la futura classe dirigente lo spirito e la dottrina corporativa. Particolarmente interessante è l’attività svolta dalla Scuola di perfezionamento in scienze corporative istituita nel 1938, quando erano già attivi corsi corporativi in altre facoltà di Sapienza, con lo scopo di formare ulteriormente i laureati sull’ordinamento sindacale e corporativo. La Scuola diretta da Bottai vantava docenti di rilievo nel panorama politico ad esempio Sergio Panunzio vi insegnava “storia e dottrina del fascismo”, Del Giudice “storia sindacale e corporativa”, Ferruccio Lantini “politica autarchica” e Celestino Arena “economia del lavoro”. Il regolare funzionamento della Scuola era finanziato dai Ministeri, dell’Educazione Nazionale e delle Corporazioni, Camera dei Fasci e delle Corporazioni, Ente Nazionale Fascista della Cooperazione, Istituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni, da diverse confederazioni fasciste, dal Governatorato di Roma, dall’AGIP e da altri enti e associazioni. Dai nomi degli insegnati e dalla tipologia di finanziamenti ricevuti è facile intuire come la Scuola di perfezionamento in scienze corporative fosse considerata dal regime fascista uno degli snodi principali della diffusione delle teorie corporative all’interno della classe dirigente romana, e di come questa politica culturale fosse centrale nella formazione di una solida base per lo sviluppo dello Stato corporativo. Come detto prima, altri corsi di studio corporativi erano nati in precedenza presso diverse facoltà della Sapienza di Roma e nelle università di altre città italiane, ma la Scuola fu, insieme al Collegio Mussolini di Pisa, uno dei centri principali del dibattito sul corporativismo.

Abstract
In the wake of the corporate reform of the state and the debate on corporatism that had developed since the late 1920s, university education also saw the emergence of new faculties, such as political sciences, courses of study and advanced schools. The University of Rome also within the faculties of Law, Economics and Political Sciences saw courses in corporatism law and economy corporative and the activation of the specialization school in corporate sciences The courses were held by leading figures of fascism: Bottai, Del Giudice, Zanobini and Balella, all committed to spreading the spirit and corporatism doctrine to the future ruling class. Particularly interesting is the activity carried out by the Graduate School in corporative sciences established in 1938, when corporate courses were already active in other faculties of Sapienza, with the aim of further training graduates on trade union and corporate law. The school run by Bottai boasted prominent professors on the political scene, for example Sergio Panunzio taught "history and doctrine of fascism", Del Giudice "trade union and corporate history", Ferruccio Lantini "autarchic politics" and Celestino Arena "labor economy". The regular functioning of the School was financed by the Ministries, National Education and Corporations, Chamber of Fasci and Corporations, National Fascist Cooperation Body, National Insurance Institute, by various fascist confederations, by the Governorate of Rome, by the AGIP and by other bodies and associations. From the names of the teachers and the type of funding received, it is easy to see how the school of specialization in corporative science was considered by the fascist regime to be one of the main hubs of the spread of corporate theories within the Roman ruling class, and how this cultural policy was central to the formation of a solid foundation for the development of the corporate state. As mentioned earlier, other corporate courses of study had previously been born in different faculties of the Sapienza University of Rome and in the universities of other Italian cities, but the School was, together with the Collegio Mussolini of Pisa, one of the main centres of the debate on corporatism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
