The author attempts to focus on the evolution of the institute of referendum in the Italian Republic of the second post-war period drawing from existing scholarship. The instrument was used in important political and institutional steps, and progressively became a central element for Italian political life. Nevertheless, the author argues that it has almost not been studied in a historical prospective: in particular, the relation between referendum and party system was not sufficiently analysed, as well as the political effects of the instrument on the system, and the tendence to utilize it in a plebiscitarian and anti-establishment prospective. Intertwining political, juridical and historical studies in this field, the author tries to focus on these specific topics.
Keywords: Referendum, democracy, party system, Italian republic, plebiscitarianism, direct democracy.
