The paper, based on Amintore Fanfani's diaries, describes his attitude towards Yugoslavia as it was formed during his years at the top of Italian political life. It starts in the late 1940s and ends in the late 1970s, encompassing the period characterized by the quarrel related to the Trieste question. Fanfani was a staunch fighter for Italian interests but on the other hand he understood that the two countries should live together in a friendly neighborhood. As a scholar of economy he was also interested in the Yugoslav selfmanagement experiment, which he found complicated, but more democratic system than capitalist one.
