Political change in Italy since the First Republic has been marked by both dramatic shifts and persistent social structures. This book explores two northern regions with distinct cultural backgrounds, revealing how kinship and social networks maintain continuity amidst political transformations. By analyzing family relations, moral beliefs, and social capital, the author challenges the notion of a straightforward evolution towards pluralism. Instead, she argues that Italian civic engagement is deeply intertwined with local culture and political identity, highlighting the complexity of these relationships.
