In Italy’s EU election, abstention passed 50% for the 1st time: not from indifference or circumstance, but from aversion and long-term erosion of trust & efficacy, towards the EU and politics in general.
A “no-plot” tale in my new article on Italy’s political disengagement: doi.org/10.1080/2324...
The regional capital, Ancona, has a turnout of 30.7% (33.5% in 2020).
Pesaro, where Ricci was born and served as mayor, has a turnout of 36.2% (from 37.3%). 35.6% in Urbino.
Potenza Picena, where Acquaroli is from, stands at 30.4%; nearby Macerata, where he was born, is at 31.3% (from 37.9%).
Map of Marche region showing 2025 election turnout (Sunday, 7pm) by municipality. Color scale from blue (low turnout ~20%) to green (high turnout ~40%).
2025 Marche Regional Election: so far, overall, low participation.
The map shows the turnout by municipality at Sunday, 7pm.
Overall the turnout is down of 2.7 points from 2020 and 3.9 from 2015 – comparing the same time and day (Sunday at 7pm). Polls will close tomorrow at 3pm.
Polls mostly show Acquaroli, RW incumbent, ahead. Ricci, ex-Pesaro mayor & MEP, leads a left-wing alliance (PD & 5-Star). By law, polls can’t be published in the last 15 days before voting. Will the result influence future regional contests, test Meloni’s strength and the opposition’s recovery?

Bar chart titled “2025 Marche Regional Election: Pre-election Surveys.” It shows polling results for Acquaroli (right-wing incumbent), Ricci (left-wing challenger), and “Other” candidates across seven surveys from Dec 2024 to Sept 2025. Acquaroli leads in most polls, with support around 50–52%. Ricci ranges between 45–47.5%. “Other” candidates stay low, 2–5%.
Today & tomorrow Marche votes! Once a left-wing region, it swung right in 2020 with Acquaroli. Dubbed Italy’s “Ohio,” it opens with Aosta Valley an autumn wave of regional contests with national weight. Acquaroli is 1 of 2 FdI governors, same party as PM Meloni. Pre-election polls attached.

Everyday and in the voting booth, economic concerns often outweigh ecological ones. Being unwilling to prioritize these latter, when are voters still inclined to vote green?

The period analyzed is short, for sub-national analysis especially, but some regions do show notable changes:
• FVG: Inequality rise under alternating R-L-R coalitions since 2008.
• Molise & Campania: Marked inequality drops under R-wing (Molise, 2018–) and L-wing (Campania, 2015–) coalitions.

• Emilia-Romagna: Governed by left coalitions since WWII, inequality remains low and stable (2012–22: -0.004).
• Umbria: Shifted to the right in 2019 for the first time since WWII, inequality trend close to ER’s stability, with a slight increase (+0.1).

Today and tomorrow are voting days in two Italian regions, Emilia-Romagna and Umbria!
Both regions have historically low inequality, well below Italy's level.

Graph displaying Italian trust in the last four governments: Conte I, Conte II, Draghi, and Meloni. Trust in Meloni's government has fallen by 11 percentage points since the start of her tenure, aligning closely with pre-pandemic Conte II levels. Data source: Demos for la Repubblica (April 20th, 2024).
The post-electoral honeymoon is over for the Meloni government.
A longitudinal survey by Demos shows how Italian trust in the administration has steadily dropped to levels similar to the pre-pandemic Conte II government—markedly lower than during Conte I, post-pandemic Conte II, and Draghi's terms.

Visual ranking by the daily newspaper ‘Il Sole 24 Ore’ depicting the 2023 quality of life index across the 107 Italian provinces. Udine at the top, Foggia at the bottom.

📊Today, Il Sole 24 Ore has published the new rank of Italian provinces according to a quality of life index of 90 indicators (15 for each of the 6 macro-categories). Udine finds itself at the top of the list for the first time since 1990. Bologna (1st last year) is 2nd, Trento completes the podium.
