Talk:Government of Italy

Important notice

The government section of the "Outline of Italy" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.

When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process. Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.

Please check that this country's outline is not in error.

If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .

Thank you. The Transhumanist , 2011-12-12T05:51:40‎

Government refers to the executive branch only

Government refers to the executive branch of the institutional organization of a country (ordinamento giuridico di uno stato, for Italian speakers), not to the whole organizational system as reported in this page.

As such, either the title of the page is changed accordingly (to, e.g, Separation of powers in Italy or Form of government of Italy) or the content needs to be restricted to the executive branch only, as I did in an edit that was reverted soon after. This would also reflect similar pages such as Government of France, Government of the United Kingdom, Federal government of the United States, ...

As it stands, the page is factually wrong: the government of Italy is not a democratic republic. Either "The government of Italy is the executive branch of the Italian republic", or "The form of government of Italy is a parliamentary republic".

The word "goverment" has a different, more extensive, meaning in English. It's not the translation of "governo" in Italian, in the current meaning of "executive". In the US the President, the Senate and the Congress are all branches of the "government" even if one is executive and the others legislative. It's a matter of false friends when translating. I adjusted the lead sentence, now it should sound better. --Ritchie92 (talk) 11:05, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Search for any "government of XXX" page on en:wiki and you'll find a page describing the executive branch of XXX. No fail so far, from Government of France to Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Furthermore, as it stands, this page is practically a copy of Politics of Italy#Government, and indeed "Politics of XXX" is where the form of government for the different countries is found.

In my view, this page can be either axed altogether, as it only proposes duplicate content, or it can be modified to suit the naming convention of the rest of WP.

I would not be against a merge of this page into Politics of Italy#Government, and possibly changing this one to represent only the executive branch. But let's wait for more editors for opinions. --Ritchie92 (talk) 00:37, 5 February 2020 (UTC)

#Political Parties and Elections

Where is it? It has a hyperlink under "Legislative Branch", but somebody must either have fallen off or took a chainsaw to it.

Please could somebody who cares put it up, or put it back up?

I removed the link, since the section does not exist anymore. --Yakme (talk) 10:35, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
