Governing Fear
In 2008, Silvio Berlusconi returned to power — thanks to a decisive electoral victory — to head a slimmer coalition whose cabinet consisted of members very close to him. The year began with the garbage crisis in Naples and ended in a climate dominated by economic uncertainty. In between some unexpected events happened: during the administrative elections, held with the general elections in April, the right in Rome claimed many victories; for the first time ever, a woman, Emma Marcegaglia, was elected President of Confindustria; and the Alitalia airline had to be rescued from the brink of economic collapse. For consecutive months, opinion polls gave Berlusconi an unprecedented level of po...

Intimate Politics
It is often remarked that politicians’ private lives are becoming a feature of political communication in many advanced industrial democracies. However, there have so far been no genuinely comparative studies examining the personalized nature of political communication. Intimate Politics provides for the first time a systematic comparative analysis of such developments in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the UK and the US. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, it assesses the extent to which the private lives of politicians have become a feature of political communication in each democracy. The book provides a comprehensive account of the shifting boundaries between the public and private, and whether any developments are universal or more advanced in some democracies than others, and seeks to explain why this might be. Intimate Politics will be of great value for students and scholars of communication and media studies and political science and is required reading for anyone who wants a fuller understanding of the transformation of mediated politics in advanced industrial democracies.
Papi in Posa
The exhibition entitled “Papi in Posa,” i.e., “Papal Portraiture,” with the highly refined and historically significant Braschi Palace – home of the Museum of Rome – in 2004, and now in Washington, The John Paul II Center, is not offered only as an excellent exposition of masterpieces from major international museums – such as the Vatican Museums – and prestigious private collections, but stands out in particular because it is one of the most important expositions of portrait painting ever because of both the outstanding quality and the considerable number of paintings and sculptures offered – executed by Europe's leading artists from the last five centuries – and the gre...
The History of Contemporary Italy 1943-2019
This book offers a history of contemporary Italy from the collapse of Mussolini to the present, placing this major Euro-Mediterranean country in a wider geo-political perspective. It examines how Italian history and politics developed in relation to - and were shaped by - the international context, from the Cold War and NATO to the European integration process and the global challenges of 1989. Umberto Gentiloni Silveri highlights all major events, structural limits, contradictions and conflicts influencing Italian democracy and the political system until today. He explores the continuous tension between 'stabilization' and 'conflict', between the promise of an innovative and evolutionary representative democracy on the one hand and the constraints of a political system conditioned by structural limits and old contradictions on the other.
1960–2010: Game over for Italy’S Most Criminal Goverments
Mine is only and simply a history book that will upset many people in Italy. Nevertheless, the undersigned is pissed, very pissed off about what happened in the past, and what is still happening today. It a shame that my country has been admitted to complete a political unit (as it is today Italy),with a scam made about 150 years ago. The culture of my country, the Veneto is similar to that of the southern regions such as Campania, Sicily, Calabria, etc.. Like the English or German culture is similar to the Moroccan, Tunisian, etc. .. And right that every people is master at home. Im sick and Im not alone (the party of the Northern League is the proof), to see people from the regions of Ital...
Much Ado About Nothing?
The year 2010 marked the halfway point for Silvio Berlusconi’s fourth government with the solidity of its electoral mandate threatened on a number of occasions by strong clashes with the opposition, ultimately leading to a “divorce” from Gianfranco Fini. The upheaval that followed this rift dominated the second half of the year. This volume examines not only this rift but also the important political and social events of a period full of polemics and tensions, from the regional elections and the debate on fiscal federalism to the state of the opposition parties. The political agenda was consumed by everyday matters, such as the scandals surrounding the Civil Protection Service and the ...
La suburra
Ministre sexy, telefoni bollenti e debitamente intercettati, immondizia programmatica, ciarpame elettorale. Dal compleanno della vergine di Casoria ai massaggi del Salaria Sport Village è come se un ridicolo e osceno diavolaccio avesse piantato i suoi artigli sull’agenda d’Italia. Maiali e farfalline, coca e complotti, tatuaggi, prostata, carne fresca e chirurgia estetica. Non c’è scandalo, ormai, che non se ne trascini dietro un altro peggiore. Addio paese tollerante e disincantato. Tra le macerie della politica e i relitti del buonsenso, il casting nazionale mette in fila aspiranti imperatori della decadenza, cortigiani velenosi, teledivi capricciosi, e poi lolite, paparazzi, pappo...
STEFANO CUCCHI & COMPANY I DELITTI DI STATO
E’ comodo definirsi scrittori da parte di chi non ha arte né parte. I letterati, che non siano poeti, cioè scrittori stringati, si dividono in narratori e saggisti. E’ facile scrivere “C’era una volta….” e parlare di cazzate con nomi di fantasia. In questo modo il successo è assicurato e non hai rompiballe che si sentono diffamati e che ti querelano e che, spesso, sono gli stessi che ti condannano. Meno facile è essere saggisti e scrivere “C’è adesso….” e parlare di cose reali con nomi e cognomi. Impossibile poi è essere saggisti e scrivere delle malefatte dei magistrati e del Potere in generale, che per logica ti perseguitano per farti cessare di scrivere. Devastan...
