Abstract
The attention paid to Italian philosophy in the recent historiographical and theoretical debate is constantly increasing: therefore it becomes necessary understanding first of all if there is such a thing as ‘Italian Thought’ and, if so, establishing in what it would consist. Critically resuming the claims of Bertrando Spaventa and Pantaleo Carabellese, according to whom Italian philosophers had anticipated since from Renaissance the revolutionary intimacy between being and thinking (ontologism), which later triumphed thanks to German Idealism; the aim of the article is showing how this original unity is marked by a connotative metaphysical aptitude. Although during 19th and 20th centuries this long ‘Italian way to metaphysics’ led also to antithetical results (such as in the case of Bontadini's theism and of Severino's neo-parmenidism) it doesn't lose its trademark. This could represent a possible exegetical alternative to see in the so-named ‘Italian Thought’ not only a political and anti-systematic soul.
