Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial sirvió en el Ejército italiano y tras la caída de Mussolini en 1943 estuvo con los partisanos antinazis. En 1945 militó en el Partido de Acción de Ferruccio Parri, pero pronto se desvinculó de cualquier organización política. En 1946 entró a trabajar por la vía de oposiciones en el Banco de Italia, institución donde desarrolló toda su carrera hasta la cúspide. Sucesivamente fue técnico en el departamento de investigación económica (1960-1970), jefe del departamento (1970-1973), secretario general del Banco (1973-1976), vicedirector general (1976-1978), director general (1978-1979) y, finalmente, gobernador (1979-1993). Considerado un economista de formación humanista, Ciampi salvaguardó la independencia del banco del Estado y se labró una imagen de austeridad y apego al trabajo. Como titular representó a Italia en las juntas de gobernadores de diversas instituciones financieras internacionales. Con su elección el 26 de abril de 1993 por el presidente de la República Oscar Luigi Scalfaro (por primera vez sin consultar a los partidos) para reemplazar a Giuliano Amato, Ciampi se convirtió en el primer jefe de Gobierno técnico, esto es, no adscrito a ninguna formación, desde 1945, si bien algunos líderes políticos insistieron en sus simpatías democristianas.

  • The Transformation of Italian Democracy
    Bulletin of Italian Politics Vol. 1, No. 1, 2009, 29-47 The Transformation of Italian Democracy Sergio Fabbrini University of Trento Abstract: The history of post-Second World War Italy may be divided into two distinct periods corresponding to two different modes of democratic functioning. During the period from 1948 to 1993 (commonly referred to as the First Republic), Italy was a consensual democracy; whereas the system (commonly referred to as the Second Republic) that emerged from the dramatic changes brought about by the end of the Cold War functions according to the logic of competitive democracy. The transformation of Italy’s political system has thus been significant. However, there remain important hurdles on the road to a coherent institutionalisation of the competitive model. The article reconstructs the transformation of Italian democracy, highlighting the socio-economic and institutional barriers that continue to obstruct a competitive outcome. Keywords: Italian politics, Models of democracy, Parliamentary government, Party system, Interest groups, Political change. Introduction As a result of the parliamentary elections of 13-14 April 2008, the Italian party system now ranks amongst the least fragmented in Europe. Only four party groups are represented in the Senate and five in the Chamber of Deputies. In comparison, in Spain there are nine party groups in the Congreso de los Diputados and six in the Senado; in France, four in the Assemblée Nationale an d six in the Sénat; and in Germany, six in the Bundestag. Admittedly, as is the case for the United Kingdom, rather fewer parties matter in those democracies in terms of the formation of governments: generally not more than two or three.

ISSN 1725-6739 © Federico Fabbrini, Oreste Pollicino 2017 Printed in Italy European University Institute Badia Fiesolana I-50014 San Domenico di Fiesole (FI) Italy www.eui.eu cadmus.eui.eu Abstract The paper examines the notion of constitutional identity in Italy, with the aim to question whether the highest constitutional authorities of the Italian state have identified a core or fundamental elements of the Constitution which define its individuality. By analyzing the words and deeds of the President of the Republic and the case law of the Constitutional Court the paper claims that these two supreme constitutional authorities always refused to identify a set of constitutional values which cannot be touched by the European Union (EU). On the contrary, the paper suggests that both the President of the Republic and the Constitutional Court have endeavoured to emphasize the axiological overlap between the Italian Constitution and the project of European integration, considering Italy’s membership to the EU as the best way to fulfil the Constitution’s mandate.

  • PRESS RELEASE 9 April Sees the Birth of Eutopia Ideas for Europe
    PRESS RELEASE 9 April sees the birth of Eutopia Ideas for Europe Magazine The first webzine about Europe. In European European political integration has reached a standstill. Trying to revive it without creating a European public opinion is unthinkable. We need to discuss what kind of Europe we want to build and do it in Europe, overcoming the linguistic and cultural barriers between countries. Eutopia, the first European webzine to address crucial issues for our future as Europeans, in a rigorous, structured but accessible way, has been created for this purpose. With this in mind, we have brought together, for a unique collaboration, four prestigious European publishers: S.Fischer Verlag in Germany, Editorial Debate in Spain, Éditions du Seuil in France and Editori Laterza in Italy. They will work with other partners including Telecom Italia and the European Institute - London School of Economics as the Academic Partner. The magazine's director is Eric Joszef, Italian correspondent of the French newspaper Libération. Authors including Zygmunt Bauman, Luciano Canfora, Paul Collier, to name a few, will express their thoughts, interpreting current issues with a continental perspective, because a united Europe needs a public debate that goes beyond national borders. We're convinced that a European culture and approach are missing when it comes to dealing with the big issues of our time. The magazine will be presented at 5.00 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 April at the offices of the publisher Laterza (Via di Villa Sacchetti 17, Rome). The presentation will be attended by Giuseppe Laterza, Marcella Logli, Eric Joszef, Lucio Caracciolo as well as others including Giuliano Amato, Tullio De Mauro, Andrea Giardina, Stefano Rodotà.
