A Forza Italia (Olaszország)
The Forza Italia (Italy)

Summary/Abstract: After the historical changes of 1992, a new type of political life began in Italy. The so-called 'tangentopoli' caused the collapse of the whole political system and the renewal of the political parties. In this situation a very new kind of political movement, the Forza Italia was born by the initiative of Silvio Berlusconi. This transformation period was necessary because of the crisis of the traditional party-system. The leader of Forza Italia, Berlusconi, served his financial power, and his influence on the whole Italian media to form the clubs of Forza Italia for organising right-wing Italian voters. The populist leader and his party, with the alliance of the other right-wing parties, like Alleanza Nazionale and Lega Nord formed a new government in 1994, and even today they have an influence on the political situation in Italy.
