Studies of the Lega Nord (Northern League) have tended either to ignore the existence of earlier movements for regional autonomy in the 1950s – such as the Movimento Autonomista Bergamasco – or, on the contrary, assume continuities between the two movements at the expense of analysis of the significant discontinuities. This article argues that neither approach has been successful in capturing the importance of precursors to leghismo and that a more nuanced analysis is required. Focusing on the Movimento Autonomista Bergamasco (MAB) in its various incarnations between 1947 and 1970, I argue that the Bergamascan autonomists of the post-war period in many ways laid the foundations for Umberto Bossi’s Lega Nord; however, it is historically inaccurate to claim a direct line of continuity between mabismo and leghismo due to the differing contexts in which each movement operated: the critical junctures of the post-war era and post-tangentopoli respectively. What emerges from a closer analysis of the relationship between the two movements, as mabismo evolved into leghismo in the 1980s is a picture of regional autonomism distancing itself from the ideal of national unity and being increasingly drawn to secessionism.

Movimento Autonomista Bergamasco 和 Lega Nord：连续性和不连续性

Lega Nord（北方联盟）的研究倾向于忽略 1950 年代早期区域自治运动的存在——例如 Movimento Autonomista Bergamasco——或者相反，以分析为代价假设这两个运动之间的连续性的重大不连续性。本文认为，这两种方法都未能成功地捕捉到前体的重要性合法主义并且需要进行更细致的分析。着眼于 1947 年至 1970 年间各种化身的 Movimento Autonomista Bergamasco (MAB)，我认为战后时期的 Bergamascan 自治主义者在许多方面为 Umberto Bossi 的 Lega Nord 奠定了基础。然而，在历史上声称之间有直接的连续性是不准确的马比斯莫和合法主义由于每个运动的运作环境不同：分别是战后时代和后坦根托波利的关键时刻。对这两个运动之间的关系进行更仔细的分析会得出什么结论，如马比斯莫演变成合法主义1980 年代是一幅区域自治主义的图景，它远离民族团结的理想，越来越被分裂主义所吸引。
