Can anyone explain the Lega Nord to me?
From the outside Italy would appear ripe for the same sort of campaigns for regional autonomy as Spain, France and the UK. Italy as a state has an even shorter history than Spain, and the constituent parts of Italy have traditionally been soverign states.
So why then is the only movement that I've heard of in the news one that wants to make up it's own country?
Or are there Venetian/Piedmont Nationalist Parties? And if there are why haven't they got more attention abroad?
