| Summary: | The aspiration in the European unity, born in the trail of the cataclysmic First World War, conveys, beyond a shared ideal of revival, several sources and historical references. Among them, it is significant to note how medieval political constructions (the Carolingian Empire or the Holy Roman Empire) were able to bring up the contemporary vision of intellectuals and even statesmen who thought to bring the purpose of a united Europe into play. This medieval model takes shape quite particularly in the work of count Jean de Pange (1881-1957), man of letters, historian of the monarchy and forerunner of the European idea in the interwar period.
