		Italy is currently in the throes of a process of political disintegration, taking place inside both its right-of-center and its left-of-center alliances.
		Although the parties that make up the alliances are divided on many issues, the future of Italy's presence in Iraq is emerging as a decisive one, at least in the foreign policy sphere, while the measures regarding terrorism and immigration appear to be the most urgent and contentious items on Rome's domestic policy agenda.
		As the left democrats of the former Communist Party compete with the Margherita Party (a left-oriented centrist Christian Democrat party) to conquer the moderate votes, they are internally torn by the split between pacifist hardliners on one hand and more pro-Atlanticist pragmatists on the other.

	MARGHERITA PARTY (ITALY) : Encyclopedia Entry
		The party president and leader is Francesco Rutelli, former Mayor of Rome and former centre-left candidate for Prime Minister at the 2001 General Elections.
		The party's decision triggered major controversy, with rumours of divisions inside the party itself, also worsened by Rutelli's indication of "no-vote" at the referendums on artificial insemination held on 12-13 June.
		This group supports Rutelli as leader of the party, although there are some differences about the future Democratic Party with DS, as Popolari are proud of their Christian democratic identity and some of them would prefer to re-join the European People's Party, while rejecting the idea of joining the Party of European Socialists.

	ITALY
		Italy is called "il Belpaese" (Italian for beautiful country) by its inhabitants, due to the beauty and variety of its landscapes and for having the world's largest artistic patrimony; the country is home to the greatest number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites (41 as of July 13, 2006).
		Today, Italy is a highly developed country with the 7th highest GDP in 2006, a member of the G8 and a founding member of what is now the European Union, having signed the Treaty of Rome in 1957.
		Italy supported Franco's revolution in Spanish civil war and Hitler's pretensions in central Europe, accepting the annexation of Austria to Germany in 1938, although the disappearance of a buffer state between mighty Germany and Italy was unfavourable for the country.

		At the moment this party is an alliance of the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) of eastern Germany and the mainly west German Social Justice party, a trade-union- led split from the Social Democrats.
		In Italy the strength of the PRC lies in its credibility among strong social and radical trade-union movements and municipal councils.
		When two of the leading parties from the communist tradition are able to combine electoral success with a readiness to drop claims to vanguard status, however, it marks an important stage in the remaking of the left.

	Socialism Today - Italy: the sick man of Europe
		Italy’s large companies — like Fiat and Alitalia — are struggling to survive and small industries which make up a large part of the economy are hard hit by the massive increase in imports to Europe from China of cheap shoes and clothing.
		Italy’s budget has been badly in the red for all four years of Berlusconi’s government and no more una tantum or ‘one-off’ special measures can be used to balance (fiddle) the books.
		Predicting Italy’s deficit to be 3.6% of GDP this year and 4.6% in 2006, the European Commission is preparing some kind of sanctions for Italy’s persistent failure to implement harsh spending cuts.

		Italy and the large islands of Sicily and Sardinia have very changeable weather in autumn, winter, and spring in marked contrast to the settled sunny weather of summer.

		Before reaching Italy, have a quick overview on most important regional types (of the region you are planning to go to) and when on site ask the waiter for one of them (not too young, not too old), he/she will suggest you 4/5 wines (always choose the second or the third one).

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Italian Parliament
		When Italy adopted its new electoral system in 1993, there were high hopes - both within the country and beyond its frontiers - that the new parliamentary election procedures would lead to a simplified political system, which would in turn produce stable, effective, long-lasting governments.
		Chamber seats awarded to a coalition are in turn proportionally allocated among constituent parties that have obtained at least two percent of the vote; however, this requirement is waived for the coalition party with the largest number of votes among those polling fewer than two percent.
		Chamber seats in Italy proper are subsequently distributed among twenty-six multi-member districts - the same districts used under the previous electoral system - following a set of complex procedures designed to insure that seats are filled in all districts without changing the nationwide distribution of seats or the apportionment of seats among districts.

	Abortion a big election issue in Italy for first time in decades - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		The centre-left opposition Margherita party is proposing a 2006 budget amendment that would have the government pay euro250 (US$295) a month - starting from the sixth month of pregnancy until birth - to housewives, unemployed women or women who do not have maternity benefits and whose total household income is less than euro40,000 (US$47,000).
		The party came forward with its plan - which on Friday reached committee level in the Chamber of Deputies - in response to a government budget proposal to pay a bonus to women who give birth.
		While the idea of a baby-bonus is not new in Italy, a country with one of the lowest birth rates in Europe, tying it to an anti-abortion initiative is.

	War polarises Italy
		Italy is the European country which has seen the biggest and most widespread protests against the US bombing of Afghanistan.
		There is quite a wide layer of youth in the party, who are still wary of what they see as a Stalinist or over-centralised approach of the leaders of the Rifondazione to politics or organisation and cling to the idea that their party can be taken back to the left.
		The radical stance of such a large part of Italy’s working class and its youth is to a certain extent ‘traditional’, but the existence of a sizeable party that explains the role of capitalism world-wide and campaigns against it is undoubtedly an important factor that does not exist today in other European countries.

	Italy's 'disobbedienti' face full wrath of law
		Italy faces what is widely seen as an assault on the right to demonstrate this week after it was announced that 13 members of a flamboyant, although non-violent, radical group are to be tried for "crimes" which could put them behind bars for years.
		And they were present in strength at the protests against the G8 summit in the northern Italian city of Genoa in July 2002 which ended in bloody violence and mass casualties among police and demonstrators.
		But the 13 members of Italy's "disobbedienti" group who go on trial next week are not charged with crimes of assault or vandalism.

		Italy is home to a trio of the world’s most vibrant cities: Rome (The Eternal City), Venice (La Serenissima—#3 on our list of Most Romantic Metropolises) and lovely, red-roofed Florence.
		Italy has about 5,300 miles of coast and the Mediterranean side is especially breathtaking, dotted with charming towns—Positano, Amalfi, Cinque Terre, and Portofino —clinging to craggy cliffs that spill down to the cerulean sea.

		Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC).
		Italy has moved slowly, however, on implementing needed structural reforms, such as lightening the high tax burden and overhauling Italy's rigid labor market and over-generous pension system, because of the current economic slowdown and opposition from labor unions.

		With a judiciary that cannot be counted on to resolve the issue in the politically correct manner, the quick and easy solution is to halt the parliamentary commission's enquiry altogether, which means getting left and right to agree on at least the groundrules of how to settle their major differences.

		Votes going to these parties and which, according to analysts, represent around 10% of the electorate, would therefore be lost for the leftwing coalition l'Unione, which in fine would benefit Casa delle libertà, a coalition which is less dispersed.
		Both parties disagree on several subjects such as the presence of Italian soldiers in Iraq or the abolition of laws voted in by the Berlusconi government.
		The primary elections were a true success rallying more people than any of the parties had originally forecast since 4,311,139 individuals voted (the leftwing parties had expected between 500,000 and 600,000) and the 9,731 polling stations had to extend their closing time from 22:00 to 23:00 in order to receive all of the voters.
