Abstract
The article is a brief outline of the historical evolution of the juridical and political thought on the principle of subsidiarity. This evolution is then analysed together with its bearing on the drafting of the Italian Constitution of 1948 and its subsequent amendment, in 2001. Finally, the article seeks to explain the author's misgivings about the usual interpretation of some provisions in the text of the Chilean Constitution of 1980.
