Abstract
In 1946 Antonio Pesenti was asked to chair the Committee on Labour set up within the Ministry for
Constituent Assembly. He also collaborated with the Economic Commission of the same Ministry.
Through the proceedings and the archival sources we can rebuild the net Pesenti’s position on Right
to Employment, public finance, the role of the state in economy. Furthermore we can trace the echo
that his arguments had in the debate linked to the processing of the Italian Constitution.
