Which were the social, economical and political groups which promoted the Italian colonialism? Which the characteristics of their action in political and public sphere? These questions delimit the research about the Italian colonial “party” as the subjects and the personalities which promoted the Italian colonial expansion after the Italian unification. From the reasons of the delay of this studies, examining the scientific production of the Seventies, analysing the new tendencies of research, the issue of this article is to give a picture of the actual state of the historiography about this argument.
