There is definitely something going on with the Italian government, just like last year and the year before and the year before that. There is always something going on with the Italian government. The Italians seem to like a chaotic and ineffective government. It probably has to do with their hatred of Mussolini. They don't trust any government, treating them all as the enemy.

I spent 2 months in Italy while attending a Nato Communications school. While there, I lived like an Italian not a tourist. It was quite an eye opener!
