More than ever it is present in a period of "epistemological crisis" the thought of Giorgio La Pira, who scored in-depth development of the political conception of our nation, conception largely little-known not only by the general public, but also by specialists and politicians.

Giacomo Mininni in this work intends to be analyzed speculation about the history of the great man who operates between Augustine and Hegel, between two positions that seemingly antithetical, an original and unexpected synthesis, capable of processing history as "dynamic project" that requires active cooperation between the divine and the human sphere.

From this model "hybrid" La Pira then develops an original vision, deep and intriguing past, a real theoretical model that was able to inspire and guide his entire political action.
