February 17, 1992. Milan. What should have been a quiet day at the beginning of the election campaign will go down in history as the start of Tangentopoli. This book investigates the context, the protagonists and the consequences of the unpredictable “revolution” of 1992, showing that the Italian political system was not a “death foretold”. Tangentopoli is placed by the author within the real dynamics that contributed to producing it, distancing itself from deterministic readings, often conditioned by political-ideological convictions or by the personal experiences of commentators and scholars. The aim is to rebalance interpretations and categories abused in public and historiographical debate, thus contributing to completing the knowledge on the most serious crisis of the Republic.
