Suggested by some sources produced between the end of 1939 and the middle of 1941, this article aims to map and to counterpoint a collection of historic events concerning the growing contrast between the fascist party’s integralists and the legal culture’s personalities who tried to extend a ‘sanitary cordon’ around the last remains of the legal State and of the individual liberties. Proposals for writing down a new constitution to block further reforms in order to transform the Italian State in a State-DUX according to the German model, went together with proposals of interpreting some characters of the fascist public law in accordance with criteria that could save the residual elements of a legal State.
