The constitutional reform of 2016 and its reasons

Abstract

A brief analysis on the constitutional reform rejected in referendum in Italy (in 2016) is contained in this text. The most important reform was the bicameral system, which sought to clarify the role of the Senate and turn it into a Chamber of territorial representation. This would have served also to modify the model of relationship between State and regions. Also is trying to reduce costs of the functioning of representative institutions. While constitutional reform failed, in the article are defended some assets of the reform, which not have been approved have caused that, at this point, continue having dysfunctions in the Italian constitutional political system.
