Social Security fulfils the general principles of protection of the needy through social assistance and social security, specific for the safeguard of workers. In Italy, according to the principle of territoriality of the insurance obligation, the non community worker is subject to the country's social security and welfare legislation. On 7 December 1984 an administrative agreement is signed in Tunis for the application of the convention on social security, between the Italian Republic and the Tunisian Republic, with the possibility for the Tunisian citizen to work in Italy, while remaining under the responsibility of the legislation on social security in your country of origin. Because of the political alternation of the Italian Governments, more restrictive guidelines have been reached, with the introduction of the limitation to equating to Italians only non-EU immigrants holding EC residence permits as long-staying guests, exceeding even the provisions of bilateral agreements including the Italy - Tunisian one. This has subordinated the provision of certain social security benefits, discriminating against Tunisian citizens and limiting the enjoyment of the fundamental rights recognized to Italian citizens.

In 1993, Italy adopted an electoral system based largely on single-member districts (SMD) based, at least in part, on the hope that SMDs would lead to a two-party system and alternation in government. That idea is known in political science as Duverger's law. The overwhelming consensus among specialists in Italian politics would appear to be that Duverger's law is not working very well in Italy. I will argue, to the contrary, that Duverger's law is working exactly as should have been expected. Although one may see little evidence of movement toward a two-party system at the national level, between the 1994 and 1996 elections, more than 80% of electoral districts moved closer to bipolar competition between two candidates. A dynamic analysis of electoral districts confirms the powerful operation of Duverger's law in Italy.

Is Italy il bel paese-the beautiful country-where tourists spend their vacations looking for art, history, and scenery? Or is it a land whose beauty has been cursed by humanity's greed and nature's cruelty? The answer is largely a matter of narrative and the narrator's vision of Italy. The fifteen essays in Nature and History in Modern Italy investigate that nation's long experience in managing domes­ti­cated rather than wild natures and offer insight into these conflicting visions. Italians shaped their land in the most literal sense, producing the landscape, sculpting its heritage, embeddin

The province of Bergamo, located in Lombardy, is one of the most successful regions in Italy. The economy is highly competitive, diversified and export-oriented, productivity is above the national average, and unemployment is almost non-existent. The diversity of the region and its abundant cultural and environmental assets are likely to turn the province into an outstanding tourist destination. The future success of the province is not certain, though. Bergamo still faces important challenges, like improving its education sector or building transport infrastructures that respond to the needs
