Italian Civil Society

Italian civil society refers to the network of voluntary organizations, associations, and groups that operate independently from the government to promote social, cultural, and political goals. These entities include charities, advocacy groups, unions, and community organizations that work to address societal issues, foster civic participation, and support democratic values. They play a vital role in shaping public life, offering services, and representing diverse interests, thereby strengthening the social fabric and enabling citizens to influence policies and community development beyond governmental structures.
