Abstract: the paper examines the work of the «Commissione speciale e straordinaria per lo studio e la formazione dei progetti di legge» («Special and Extraordinary Commission for the study and draughting of bills») instituted under the auspices of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Third Cavour Government, Luigi Carlo Farini, and operative between August 1860 and March 1861. The Commission draughted bills aimed at a decentralized administrative re-ordering of the budding Italian State. The salient aspect of the plan, initiated by Farini and then concluded by his successor as Minister of Internal Affairs, Marco Minghetti, was the idea of structuring the new Kingdom on a regional basis. The bills were presented to a parliamentary commission of the Kingdom of Italy, which rejected the regional institution. Administrative centralization was thus chosen for the Kingdom of Italy.

Abstract: the relationship between the social and environmental dimensions is not always immediately perceptible and/or describable. Very often the social, cultural and political aspects are neglected in comparison to the economic effects. Studies, starting in the 1960s, show the importance of changing for the future the anthropocentric cultural model to an eco-centric vision of sustainable development, a change that is intended to be cultural and political. Analysing these aspects, the work intends to observe, after an initial introductory part of a cultural analysis of sustainable development and the sustainability debate, action plans and policies oriented towards adopting sustainability education pathways to be understood as actions aiming at a political and cultural paradigm shift.

Keywords: Sustainability – Culture – Education – Politics – Eco-justice
