- Title
La costruzione territoriale dell'identità costituzionale tra finzioni giuridiche e "trauma" della secessione.

- Abstract
The essay examines the relationships between secession and constitutional designs within the broader context of the social, legal and political sciences. In particular, it focuses on the mechanisms through which questions for secession are submitted to voters, and ascertains whether they ensure correspondence between popular will and the consent to secede. In this regard, the article delivers these case studies and attempts at secession: in Catalonia, Scotland and the Italian Region of Veneto. The cases are examined in order to reveal the legal fictions which secession rests on. Finally, the recourse to critical legal geography provides an in-depth analysis of the territorial dimension of secession.
