An analysis of recent election data In the red regions of Italy
In the sociological and political science literature, Emilia Romagna, Tuscany, Umbria and Marche shape "the Red Zone" (Trigilia 1981; Baccetti Messina 2009; Caciagli 2017). The Red Zone is a wide area in the center of Italy, where the values of the leftist political culture are so widespread among the people as to inhibit a real electoral competition between left and right parties’ candidates.
