The author recalls a dialogue between Vittorio Emanuele Orlando, a Sicilian liberal, and Piero Calamandrei, a liberal and democratic Tuscan socialist, about the language used in parliamentary life. He then dwells on an essay by Orlando who, drawing inspiration from that dialogue, deals with the nature of the democratically elected Parliament, in which, through the delegation of voters to their representatives, the popular will is expressed. The figure of Orlando is then recalled starting from his role during the First World War up to his activity as an opponent of fascism.
