Description
Summary:The article retraces the political and legislative events related to the school of Aosta Valley in the last seventy years. The school was chosen as a tool to make again francophone a population that was losing her traditional Francophonie, due to the demographic transformations and the antifrench policies of the liberal state, first, and the Mussolini regime, after. This task was hampered by the dynamics of local political struggle, by the resistance of the central State and by regional governments ‘ choices. The article analyses the evolution of the laws ruling the organization of the Aosta Valley schools in relation to the evolution of local political and trade union events and highlights how the needs of the electoral consensus have gradually deleted the ideal thrust that animated the debates about the school between the 1940s and 1970s.
