		<description><![CDATA[In a piece on Italy&#8217;s &#8216;invertebrate left&#8217;, published in the LRB in 2009, Perry Anderson wrote: From the mid-1960s onwards, Italian Communism had another strand, neither official nor operaista, that remained more authentically Gramscian than anything its leadership could offer, or ultimately tolerate. Expelled in 1969, the Manifesto group around Lucio Magri, Rossana Rossanda and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At last Berlusconi has said he’ll step down. It should be a good day for Italian democracy. Except that – assuming he really does go – Italy’s longest serving postwar prime minister will have been finally driven from office not for corruption, croneyism, tax evasion or colluding with the mafia; not for the conflict of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Under Italian law, an &#8216;abrogative&#8217; referendum – which asks voters if they think a particular item of legislation should be repealed – can be called by anyone, subject to judicial approval and proof of popular support. Three of the proposals in the referendum held earlier this week came from the anti-corruption party Italia dei Valori [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Italian politics rarely make British headlines unless it&#8217;s a story about Berlusconi&#8217;s buffoonery and this weekend&#8217;s local elections have been no exception. But they may hold a salutary lesson for the bigoted right elsewhere in Europe. The results have been anything but predictable, with surprise first-round wins for the centre-left in former right-wing strongholds across [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Sunday 13 February, more than a million Italians, most of them women, took to the streets to demand that Silvio Berlusconi resign.
