| Summary: |
In 2001 an important reform was enacted in Italy to amend part of the constitution regarding the autonomous nature of the regions and the local corporations. The new provisions on their treasuries led to statements (perhaps politically motivated to play to the media) that the Constitution had introduced a system of fiscal federalism. But the interpretation of the new provisions followed two underlying ideas: federalism for solidarity and federalism for separation. Although eight years have gone by since the constitutional reform, the current system of regional and local funding remains the same and only recently has a law been passed that empowers the government with legislative authority to activate fiscal federalism. The guidelines that the parliament established for exercise of this authority show a compromise between the two concepts of fiscal federalism yet leave various problems unsolved. |
