Resumen
The objective of the present article is to explain how the construction of Italy’s national-State identity is affected by an internal and an external identity. The first is due to a regional identity, constructed between the north and the south of Italy, the second, is due to Italy’s role in it´s diplomatic relationship with the European Union. Both in which, each identity passes through a process of symbolic interaction and a co-constitution created by discourse that defines roles, and thus, constructs a national identity. Therefore, a qualitative methodology was used, based on documental/archive work that guided this research.
