Field guide to Italian politics

Behind the scenes of a never-ending crisis

After the disastrous year of a global pandemic and the worst recession in our lifetime and despite the need for good statesmen to take the lead, the Italian political landscape is in turmoil and facing a new political crisis yet again.

Watching our domestic policies unfolding is like watching a real-time episode of House of Cards, with the same level of blood and greed, and the only exception that is not the main character to be accused of misconducts, but the entire cast of supporting actors. Italy is well known for the never-ending scandals and corruption that endemically involve every politician.

To unravel the madness of Italian politics we have to jump back to last year.

August 2019. Summer is in full swing in Italy. All businesses are closed and people are flocking towards the coast, for the long-coveted holidays of “ferragosto”. Even the Parliament is closed, and Deputies and Senators are all far away spending holidays in some fancy islands in the ocean.
