LA RIFORMA DEL “FEDERALISMO FISCALE” COME MOTORE PER IL REGIONALISMO ITALIANO?
NEW FINANCIAL SETTINGS AS FAST TRACK FOR REGIONALISM IN ITALY?

Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on the reform of the intergovernmental financial relations introduced in Italy in 2009 (law n. 42) as a spearhead of the regionalization process. So far, the new financial settings are far from being in force, due to the lack of implementing measures. The aim of the paper is to analyze the reform of the Italian financial system, approaching the subject matter both from the perspective of the sources of law, and from the substantial content of the legal provisions. The analysis will demonstrate that, notwithstanding the intentions, the austerity measures adopted by the State against the background of the economic crisis have translated in an awkward attempt to dismantle the progresses made in so far in the process of regionalization.
