Nel crepuscolo della repubblica dei partiti. Nilde Iotti e la Commissione bicamerale per le riforme istituzionali del 1993

Between the general elections of April 5, 1992 and those of March 27, 1994, which ended early the eleventh legislature, the shortest in the history of the republic, a political crisis took place which to many appeared to be the end of a "first" and beginning of a "second" republic. In this twilight of the republic of parties, the communist Nilde Iotti was called, by virtue of her political authority and ideal continuity, to the presidency of the bicameral commission for the reform of the constitution. While completing her work, Iotti was aware that the last opportunity was being wasted to defend what remained of the republic of parties.
