Italian Republic

The Italian Republic is the current form of Italy’s government, established in 1946 after a referendum abolished the monarchy. It is a parliamentary democracy, meaning the people elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. Italy has a President as the head of state and a Prime Minister as the head of government. The country is divided into regions with localized governments. Italy’s democratic system emphasizes the rule of law, separate branches of government, and respect for citizens’ rights. The Italian Republic is committed to maintaining political stability, social cohesion, and Italy’s role within the European Union and international community.
