| | Positive experiences of autonomous regions as a source of inspiration for conflict resolution in Europe |
| | The Italian Constitutional Court has declared with respect to the special status of Trentino-Alto Adige (South Tyrol) that “the fact that the ethnic minorities living in this region can elect their own representative body under conditions of genuine equality can only be in the national interest and, indeed, national unity”. | | | For example, the Spanish constitution states that “(t)he Constitution is based on the indissoluble unity of the Spanish Nation, the common and indivisible homeland of all Spaniards; it recognises and guarantees the right to autonomy of the nationalities and regions of which it is composed”. | | | Rather, it must be considered as a compromise aimed at ensuring respect for territorial integrity in a state that recognises the cultural diversity of its population. |

| | However, it is the rise to political prominence of the Northern League (Lega Nord) (LN) political party in Italian politics, which has brought to the fore questions about Italian national unity and identity. | | | The 1992 national election in Italy confirmed the success of the LN's federal rhetoric when it gained three million votes, which was 8.7% of the national electorate and meant that the party had 81 elected representatives in the Italian Parliament (55 Deputies and 24 Senators). | | | This was the electoral high point in the short but intense political history of the LN, which actually re-launched the party and meant that it regained its position as one of the most important forces within Italian politics ( Diamanti, 1996a, pp. |

| | At the first Unity Congress of 1920 the overwhelming majority of the B.S.P. branches merged in the newly founded Communist Party. | | | The Italian Socialists met in a joint conference with the Swiss Socialists at Lugano (1914) and took an active part in the international socialist conferences in Zimmerwald (1915) and Kienthal (1916). | | | Under pressure from the Lefts, the most outspoken reformists (Bonomi, Bissolati), who supported the war and advocated collaboration with the government and the bourgeoisie, were expelled from the Party at its congress in Reggio Emilia in 1912. |

| | A third referendum was to determine whether Italians wished to extend to all towns the majority system which assigns two-thirds of the seats to the winning list and to elect the mayor directly in municipal elections. | | | Today, after more than 130 years of political unity, a much higher degree of homogeneity has been achieved, but from the point of view of socio-economic development (and in very recent times also in terms of political behaviour) the country appears to be divided into three inter-regional 'blocks': the North, the Centre and the South. | | | The party obtained good electoral results in the Northern provinces, particularly in Lombardy, at the 1990 administrative elections, did surprisingly well in the 1992 general political elections and won across the Northern regions in the 1993 local and provincial elections, gaining Milan as well as scores of minor wealthy industrial towns. |
