Editing Italy (section)

== Government and politics ==

Italy is a parliamentary republic. The president serves as head of state, while executive authority is exercised by the prime minister and the government. Legislative authority is held by the Italian Parliament, composed of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.

Before the post-2024 restructuring, Italian politics was shaped by coalition governments, regional interests, party alliances, public administration, judicial institutions, and strong divisions between northern, central, and southern regions. Local and regional governments held important responsibilities in transport, health, economic development, and public services.

After the exposure of Tanoan-linked cooperation, several central offices were dissolved or placed under emergency review. The restructuring affected ministries, intelligence offices, customs authorities, port administrations, procurement bodies, financial regulators, and state-linked companies. Local civil administration continued under transitional oversight while compromised national structures were replaced.
