This special connection is also evident in the field of research that examines the center-region dialectic, as well as regional inequalities and regional polarities. This special comparativist direction of regionalism counts nearly six decades of its history. The present study is a historiographical excursus evaluating the achievements and results obtained by domestic and Italian authors, as well as the prospects for research in this field.
