ABSTRACT: This article aims at analyzing the relationship between citizenship and religion, taking its inspiration from the Thomas Hobbes’ thought. The Author try to propose a dialogue-based approach between the two different conceptual categories, also considering the fibrillations of today’s geo-political scenarios, starting from the Mediterranean area. In this perspective, he thinks that we need a necessary "transfiguration" of the Leviathan in order to promote – through a fertile dialogue between aims and values – a deeper revision of both the concept of sovereignty and the role of a constitutional State. Which is even more relevant with the reference to the issues of today’s multicultural society.

ABSTRACT: The debate concerning the rights and the duties of the same-sex couples is at the centre of the public discourse. It is, in fact, no longer confined to the life situations of the persons involved in homosexual relations. According with a classical perspective, which is in particular based on the Francesco Carnelutti’s thought, this essay tries to demonstrate that the link between the feeling of love and a juridical system – which seems now to be taken for granted – could be dangerous. As matter of fact, the Author thinks that the distinctionbetween those two spheres (love and juridical systems) is necessary, if not a prerequisite, for the right affirmation of the principle of equality.
