In 1926, Luigi Pirandello published Uno, Nessuno e Centomila, one of his most well-known novels.1 The book discusses the identity crisis faced by Vitangelo Moscarda, who wonders whether he has either a single (i.e. uno) or no identity (i.e. nessuno), or whether he has a different identity vis-a-vis every person around him (i.e. centomila—100,000 identities). One century after the publication of Pirandello’s masterpiece, the European Union is also facing a major identity crisis.
