Abstract: Attitudes towards the European Union (EU) have changed deeply in Italy: the level of support for EU membership has dramatically declined among Italian citizens and, especially after the 2018 elections, the Italian government has often been on a collision course with the EU. The article maps attitudes towards the EU in Italy, at the level of citizens, parties, and political elites. First, we provide a longitudinal analysis where we assess the scope of euroscepticism in this country. Second, we assess if recent changes in EU attitudes have been common to both elites and masses. Finally, we formulate some propositions with regard to the relationship between Italian democracy and the EU.
