  • National Report
    Words that hurt Hate speech in Italy on 2018 Edited by Final report June 5 2019 This report has been written in the framework of Words are stones project Background This national report has been produced in the framework of Words are stones project, coordinated by Lunaria (I) in partnership with Adice (F), Antigone (GR), Grenzelos (A), Kisa (CY) and Sos Racisme (S). Nationalist, populist and xenophobic movements which instrumentally mix euroscepticism, intolerance, hate and racism in order to increase their consent in public opinion represent a danger for the construction of a democratic, united, cohesive and peaceful European society. The public debate is crossed by stereotypes and prejudices targeting immigrants and refugees that often degenerate in racist offenses and attacks. In this context, Words are stones aims to: • analyze political discourses that exacerbate xenophobia, intolerance and discriminations against migrants, refugees and minorities crossing the public debate; • enhance civil society organizations, European citizens and institutions capacity to prevent and respond to hate speech; • involve European youth in campaigns countering hate speech • sensitize European politicians promote intercultural dialogue, human rights protection and a pacific coexistence among nationals and people coming from other countries. Six national reports will be produced in all partners’ countries. The main results will be compared and summarized in an international report. This report has been produced with the financial support of the Europe for Citizens Program of the European Union. The contents of this publication are the sole responsibility of Lunaria and cannot be considered to reflect an official opinion of the European Commission.

En efecto, al constatar los innumerables trabajos producidos sobre el argumento tanto en Italia como en España, hemos considerado más oportuno reducir nuestro análisis al lenguaje político y obrar una comparación contrastiva entre los dos idiomas. El corpus en que se basa la comparación está compuesto por las relaciones estenográficas de las audiciones parlamentarias del Congreso de los Diputados y de la Camera dei Deputati por áreas temáticas distintas. Tal aproximación contrastiva nos permitirá conocer mejor las analogías y sobre todo las diferencias que los dos idiomas, injustamente considerados semejantes, presentan en el lenguaje político de género.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF SPANISH, ITALIAN AND PORTUGUESE IMPACT OF THE ITALIAN LANGUAGE AND CULTURE ON THE AMANDA KNOX TRIALS ANDREW J. MASCELLI SPRING 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for baccalaureate degrees in Italian and International Politics with honors in Italian Reviewed and approved* by the following: Maria Truglio Associate Professor of Italian Thesis Supervisor and Honors Supervisor Johanna Rossi Wagner Lecturer in Italian Faculty Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT On the afternoon of November 2nd, 2007 the body of Meredith Kercher, a British exchange student, was found in her residence in the central-Italian city of Perugia. Kercher shared this residence with a young American woman by the name of Amanda Knox as well as two young Italian women. Within a matter of days, authorities had detained multiple suspects on the grounds that Meredith Kercher had been the victim of a murder. Among the alleged involved parties was Knox herself. What followed for Knox was a contentious and lengthy legal battle spanning some four years. Knox and her then boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito would remain in prison with little recourse other than to abide by the legal ramifications of their position. Knox in particular found herself in a dangerous, unfamiliar and frightening situation. Her eventual exoneration and release in the fall of 2011 was an event I personally witnessed alongside several hundred onlookers outside a nondescript Italian courthouse on a chilly fall evening in the quaint hill city of Perugia. Sentiments ranged from quiet vindication of a young girl’s innocence to vocal outrage at the liberation of an accessory to murder.

Commitment Indicators 87 1 Executive Summary: Italy Italy’s fourth action plan includes commitments on relevant national challenges like beneficial ownership transparency and lobbying regulation. It also builds on previous commitments on open data, and introduces measures to enhance civic participation and a culture of open government. Commitments would benefit from more targeted objectives and thus fewer milestones. The co-creation process can continue to improve through early and ongoing dialogue between government and civil society. The Open Government Partnership (OGP) is a global partnership that brings together government reformers and civil society leaders to create action plans that make governments more inclusive, responsive, and accountable. The Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) monitors all action plans to ensure governments follow through on commitments. Italy joined OGP in 2011. Since, Italy has implemented three action plans. This report evaluates the design of Italy’s fourth action plan. General overview of action plan High political turnover and distrust in public institutions Table 1.
