An era of parliamentary government came to a close in the early 1920s when Benito MUSSOLINI established a Fascist dictatorship. His disastrous alliance with Nazi Germany led to Italy's defeat in World War II. A democratic republic replaced the monarchy in 1946 and economic revival followed.
Italy was a charter member of NATO and the European Economic Community (EEC).
Persistent problems include illegal immigration, organized crime, corruption, high unemployment, sluggish economic growth, and the low incomes and technical standards of southern Italy compared with the prosperous north.
There is so much to see in Italy that it would be impossible to itemise all the must-sees here. Just think in terms of Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Capri..... the list is endless.
Italy has been at the forefront of European economic and political unification, joining the Economic and Monetary Union in 1999.
