Italian Federalism

Italian federalism refers to a system where Italy's regions have significant autonomy and decision-making power, similar to states in a federation like the United States or Germany. Instead of being directly governed solely by the central government in Rome, regions have their own governments, laws, and policies tailored to local needs, while still being part of the national framework. This decentralization aims to respect regional diversity, improve governance, and balance power between local and national authorities. Italy's approach varies by region, with some enjoying more autonomy, especially in areas like language, culture, and economic policies.
