Abstract
This analysis examines how the territorial dimension in Italian politics has changed since the fall of the Socialist regimes in eastern Europe in 1989 and the beginning of the corruption scandals in the early 1990s. Institutional changes and trends at the regional and local levels are outlined, before a study is made of the current distribution of power and resources between centre and locality. This analysis allows a more realistic assessment, than current political debate offers, of the likelihood, and possible nature, of constitutional (federalist) reform which many hope to see during the 13th legislature of the Republic.Keywords
