This work deals with lobbying from a legal point of view, and in particular legal-constitutional (comparative): it analyzes that is how this practice, whose impact on the democratic process is very high and constantly growing, is regulated, and above all which both the constitutional framework in which this regulation moves, and what this tells us about the legal system as a whole in some particularly significant systems: USA, Europe (EU and Council of Europe) and Italy.

The article analyses the fundamental traits of Italian liberalism in the second half of the 19th century. Based on the unique understanding and welding together of different theoretical models (English, French, German), Italian liberalism has been building a "politics of mediation", directly connected to the new parameters of the political-social sciences. The main goal is that of neutralising political conflict, in its more extreme manifestations, with respect to a liberal order that seeks to preserve and defend itself from any risk that might creep into the fabric of democracy.

The article starts with a brief reconstruction of current legal framework about direct and participatory democracy, as well as practice of decision-making sharing in political parties (think of primary elections and Rousseau platform). Then, it deals with risks of manipulation of consensus and perturbation of traditional model of political parties coming from political digital communication. Finally, it dwells on regulatory solutions passed both by Italian and UE lawmakers, besides some suggestions in a de iure condendo perspective. ; L'articolo opera una sintetica ricostruzione dell'attuale quadro normativo in tema di democrazia diretta e partecipativa, nonché delle più comuni prassi di condivisione delle decisioni interne agli stessi partiti politici (si pensi alle cc.dd. primarie e alla nota piattaforma Rousseau), per poi soffermarsi sui rischi di manipolazione del consenso e di destrutturazione dello stesso modello tradizionale di partito, propri della comunicazione politica digitale. A seguire, esso si sofferma sulle risposte elaborate dal legislatorenazionale e, soprattutto, europeo, insieme ad alcuni spunti in prospettiva de iure condendo.
