		Italian Parliament is composed of two houses, the House of Deputies, or the lower house, and the Senate, which is the upper house.
		Both houses in the Italian Parliament have to agree on every piece of legislation This causes parliament to be weak because there is no way to get the two houses together to decide on issues.

	Visit to Italian parliament signals new era in Vatican relations \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		The Pope yesterday symbolically closed the Vatican's territorial dispute with the Italian state by making the first papal visit to the Italian parliament, where he urged MPs to place spiritual values at the heart of their political action.
		He stood to attention, a small, hunched figure in white flanked by the tall speakers of the two houses of parliament, as church and state symbolically repaired the rupture caused by the invasion of the papal territories by Italian troops in 1870.
		For the Pontiff it was, in a sense, a homecoming: the Montecitorio palace was built by popes and once housed ecclesiastical tribunals, serving as an administrative centre for the papal states.

		According to Senator Greco, the Protocols on subsidiarity and the role of national parliaments, which will be annexed to the new EU constitutional treaty, must give each house of the national parliaments the right to initiate the early warning mechanism and to apply to the Court of Justice to enforce the principle of subsidiarity.
		Fassino affirmed we must not forget that “60,000 Italian enterprises are today operating in the vast area extending from Trieste to the borders of Russia.” Should Italy be perceived as hostile to the membership of the candidate countries in the Union, these enterprises could encounter serious obstacles in maintaining their place in these markets.

		The resolution is the conclusion of a series of Parliamentary motions and resolutions of important Italian cities, all initiated by the LaRouche movement in Italy; it represents a compromise motivated by the intention of achieving unanimity among all political parties.
		The Italian resolution was originated by a motion on the Argentine economic crisis, written by the chairman of the Italian LaRouche movement, Paolo Raimondi, and by economist Nino Galloni, Director General of the Italian Welfare Ministry.
		It soon became clear that the motion had a great potential for a large bipartisan majority, and it was thus decided, with the support of Chamber of Deputies Chairman Ferdinando Casini, to seek a unanimous vote of approval, such that it would have a maximum impact on government foreign economic policy.

	Confused vote opens new Italian Parliament - Europe - International Herald Tribune
		ROME Parliament opened Friday for the first time since Romano Prodi's coalition narrowly won elections, but the session was thrown into confusion after a close vote for speaker of the Senate that had been seen as a test of unity for Prodi's coalition.

		However, it should be pointed out that the Italian electoral law does not require that single-member college candidates be affiliated to their respective party lists.
