In 2011, Silvio Berlusconi's government fell amid a severe
financial crisis that called into question the sustainability of
Italy's enormous public debt. But Italy's entire political class
suffered a downgrade at the hands of Europe, the markets, national
elites, and many Italian citizens. From the beginning of 2011, the
parties appeared weak and lacking in any vision, capable only of
reacting poorly to events and interpreting them within the tired
pro-/anti-Berlusconi frame that had dominated politics for two
decades. Throughout the year, those shaping the key events came
from outside the main parties: the president of the Republic,
Giorgio Napolitano; the new president of the European Central Bank,
Mario Draghi; the leader of Confindustria, Emma Marcegaglia; the
new mayors of Milan and Naples; the promoters of the referendums in
June; and, last but by no means least, the European Union, foreign
leaders, and the markets. In November, the downgrade of Italy's
parties was made official by the installation of a technocratic
government, led by Mario Monti. By the year's end, it therefore
seemed clear that while the Third Republic had not yet begun, the
Second was breathing its last.
