About the project

The Committee for the National Edition of Aldo Moro’s Works has been established by the Italian Ministry for the Cultural Endowment, Cultural Activities, and Tourism, with a Ministerial Decree dated November 15, 2016, and was installed on December 6, 2016.

As its first goal, the Committee has to provide a critical, philologically sure and annotated edition of Moro’s published and unpublished texts, with historical introductions to them. Moreover, the National Edition of Aldo Moro’s Works will have three other major features:

1. it will be implemented in a digital platform in order to make the outcome, not only universally accessible but also searchable with complex procedures (Bruno Kessler Foundation); 
2. it will be the first National Edition to propose written texts (for what concerns Moro’s speeches and interviews) and audio and/or visual documents in an integrated way, by inserting links to the audio-visual sources related to the same event or occasion;
3. it will devote special attention to the internationalization of the results, foreseeing keywords also in English and a guide to orient the International public, also listing which ones among Moro’s works are available in foreign languages.

The work will be articulated into three sections:

Section I – Writings and speeches, articulated in four volumes, devoted to the religious, journalistic and political writings of Moro, according to an essentially biographical sequence;

Section II – Juridical works, articulated in four volumes and devoted to the juridical works, that is those of an Academic character that Moro published as a lecturer and then as docent-at-large and finally as full professor of Criminal Law, and as professor of the courses of Philosophy of Law, according to a chronological articulation;

Section III – Correspondence, still to be structured and devoted to the epistolary, both personal and political.
