Learning outcomes
After following this seminary, students will know the main stages of Italy’s political history from 1946 onwards ; they will understand how the Constitution influences the functioning of Italian institutions.

We will then study the history of the Italian governments between 1946 and 2022, focusing on the various political phases (centrism, center-left, national solidarity, pentapartite, coalitions of center-right and center-left etc.) and on the personalities in charge of the Council's presidency.
