"[In 1989] The first Italian republic has just celebrated its fortieth anniversary. That's not very long, but two generations have already lived with it. As the marriage vow says, Italians have shared its fortunes, for better or for worse. Worn out, reviled, mistreated, mocked, given up for dead a thousand times, our first republic reveals an unpredictable capacity for recovery and an unexpected vitality."
