Details

Italy continues to face tensions rooted in its patriarchal structure, late national unification, regional inequality, fascist authoritarianism, and a largely unresolved colonial past. These historical roots continue to shape Italy’s political and social landscape, manifesting in anti-migrant sentiment, racial discrimination, the resurgence of right-wing extremism, erosion of liberal democratic safeguards, and persistent gender-based violence.
