This vision of Europe is not idealistic; it is simply concerned with how Europeanization can benefit Italians. And, like its nineteenth-century precursor, it is vulnerable to severe backlashes, especially when it appears to bring only pain and suffering.
蒙蒂是19世纪爱国者在21世纪的翻版，他们认为经济是民族统一的必要条件。如今，欧洲统一需要经济理由。这样的欧洲不是理想主义的；其出发点完全是欧洲化能如何让意大利人获益。与19世纪先辈相同，这很容易产生巨大的反弹力，特别是结果只是痛苦和苦难的时候。
