Apparently the Turkish landings, sieges, invasions, and threats on the Italian states are not worthy of mention but other countries are. I have dozens of sources to prove their significance and I feel that the respected editors of this page can agree that it is worthy of mention. Turkey made a significant presence during that time frame and has left its mark to this day, some towns revere the Turkish past and even have Turkish symbols dotted on their streets and homes, does austria or france have this? I will put in an edit with all my sources unless someone can find a legitimate reason not to include this significant part of Italian history, but not remove the austrian incursions and so on. thank you.

The eighties and nineties are marked by the fight against the mafia, which despite important achievements of the institutions has cost the lives of numerous magistrates and men of the state, such as Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino.

The flag icon Italy is showing incorrectly (as are France France and the US United States United States). This page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Country_data_Italy apparently contains the data used in the icon, but I can't see a problem with it. Halmyre (talk) 10:24, 27 February 2019 (UTC)

The academic sources explain the reasons why the Fascist (Italian) war criminals have not been persecuted after World War II, in contrast to the Nazi (German) ones, enabling historically revisionistic beliefs of Italians who see themselves as victims only of the post-war Yugoslav Partisans' revenge. Being completely amnestic of the fact that Italian troops first occupied Slovenia (from 1941-1943) sending 12% of the occupied province to Italian concentration camps, such as Rab concentration camp, where 3,500 internees died of famine (with a mortality rate of 18%, higher than the average mortality rate in the Nazi concentration camp of Buchenwald (15%) even)...
And Italian state provided absolutely no compensation (or acknowledgement of) to suffering Slovene civil population because "poor Italians" still see themselves as victims only and the Italian media has a nerve to publish Silvio Berlusconi's statement that Benito Mussolini merely "used to send people on vacation".[1] Why? Because the Americans and the British at the beginning of the Cold War, saw in Pietro Badoglio a guarantor of an anti-communist post-war Italy.[2], Yugoslavia, Greece and Ethiopia have, in vain, requested the extradition of some 1,200 Italian war criminals, who have never seen justice. Why? Because both the Americans and British feared (possible) Russian influence on Italy if PCI would have lost the Italian elections. DancingPhilosopher (talk) 10:13, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Both the article and its lead are far too long. The lead has 7 paragraphs and nearly 1,000 words. This goes against MOS:LEADLENGTH. The level of detail in the history part of the lead is vastly excessive and needs to be cut. The whole article is 116kb of readable prose, greatly exceeding the recommended maximum at WP:TOOBIG. It's 18,500 words! Almost every section has a main article that it's supposed to be a summary of, so the solution isn't to split; the solution is to cut. EddieHugh (talk) 14:14, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

I have some doubts about the kingdom of Italy not being indicated as the predecessor of the Republic.
I am referring to the "Preceded by" and "Succeeded by" sections at the bottom of most countries' summary banner.
At the bottom of the Kingdom of Italy summary banner, the Italian Republic is indicated as one of its successors, and the embedded link redirects to this page, however the opposite isn't true.
I would suggest two options:
Easy: add a "Preceded by" section at the end of this article, that includes the "Kingdom of Italy"
Hard: create a new article regarding the Italian Republic, cited as the successor of the kingdom, that refers to the current Italian regime, while this page remains to describe Italy as a country, regarding its history before and after the republic foundation. This is what has been done with France, which has a page regarding the country and a page regarding the current French Fifth Republic, the successor to the French Fourth Republic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.9.192.228 (talk) 15:55, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

The lead has several huge mistakes in terms of historiography. It looks like bad popular history.
I had corrected all of this stuff with the sources and re-arranged everything chronologically but it's been reverted because it was not concise and well-written.
The result is that now we have wrong informations in there. We need to solve this ASAP.

Please read the following sentence: "In general discourse, "Italy" and "Italian peninsula" are often used as synonymous terms. However, the Po Valley may be excluded from the Italian peninsula. In this sense, the Italian peninsula includes only about 44% of Italy's total area. On the other hand, Sicily and other smaller islands off the peninsula may be geographically grouped along with it."

Communisus or communism in Romania In Romania after 1944 with the extensive bombings made by Great Britain Romania have surrendered , at Yalta and possibly Teheran conferences, Winston Churchill have decided to annex Romania to the British Empire, for the petrol in Romania and the 4000 0000 ha of land .In 1944 possibly the international laws were such that one to pull something like this had to invent a party a secret service some small dictators etc an apparatus , with which to exploit the war benefits ,pray.S o Winston churchill put Stalin to put possibly Dr.Petru Groxa and others,King Mihai , to make ,build up, invent the Communist Party in Romania , in order to give a legal form to this annexation .So after 1944 in 45 and 46 until up to 55 this PCR party have won all elections at gun point, some at least 100 000 people were arrested and died in political prisons etc.So that the confiscation of these 9 000 000 ha , Romania, be made legal .With dictators like Ceausescu, see also Queen Elizabeth II and Ceausescus, or Ion Iliescu or etc. named presidents etc. 2021 . they have sized in this way control over political will, properties af all sort in Romania , from houses , lands small businesses, farms to petrol industry , agriculture , airports, army ,police, justice system. Example all food in Romania in Ceausescu time was exported , meat especially ,inhabitants of Bucharest had no access to meat , coffee, citric .After 1990 they have reconfirmed in Romania this system ,changing the name of PCR in PDR , having the same doctrine possibly by replacing C letter with D letter, as in Communist or Democrat .To this day in Bucharest more or less the population was replaced in some 70 years with the ones making thus the occupation since 1948.They are told the aristocracy time is past so this communist will is fired, and this exploitations made easier and as such legal . For example houses of Aristide Razu ,and of many others of the former aristocracy ,are confiscated since 1950and-2021, inside live these so called communists,in reality Great Britain conquest of Romania.--2003:CF:BF2E:CB7E:DC22:E4B6:F7E4:1C2C 15:43, 13.

A major shortcoming of the article is that it completely lacks how Italy was geologically formed. Why does Italy look like Italy does, topographically? What does Italy consist of? How did the great mountain ranges come about? How old are they etc? Each land article should always have the geological basis for the country. It tells a lot about why the country has a certain natural geography and how it was eventually populated and why it developed in a certain direction socially, politically and economically. --Justeraren (talk) 14:13, 28 May 2022 (UTC)

This article is really, really, really long. What should we do to make it shorter? CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 11:57, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
Intervening in the talk page after the beginning of an edit war. The official name of Italy, in Italian, is Repubblica Italiana as in the title of the Italian Constitution. This name can immediately be translated as "Italian Republic" in English, and indeed this is a commonly used translation. However the official protocol of the United Nations uses "Republic of Italy" as the official English name, as shown in this list, after an explicit request by the Italian government done in 2003. I think there is nothing wrong in showing both English translations as official names of Italy in English, especially given that the second one is the one used by the UN. It is not as common as Italian Republic, but it does appear and is the official name, as stated in the text. Yakme (talk) 22:53, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
Due to notices that the article needed to be shortened because it was too long, a cooperation between several users left this current version, which in my opinion is very good. So please, before anyone adds information to the article, especially in the history part, make sure you really know the history of the country, and not just part of it, otherwise your "update" will be considered "original research" what is prohibited here on wikipedia.

Remove the duplicate paragraph under the "Science and technology" section.
The paragraph to be removed:
Through the centuries, Italy has fostered the scientific community that produced many major discoveries in physics and other sciences. During the Renaissance Italian polymaths such as Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), Michelangelo (1475–1564) and Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) made contributions in a variety of fields, including biology, architecture, and engineering. Galileo Galilei (1564–1642), an astronomer, physicist, engineer, and polymath, played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. He is considered the "father" of observational astronomy,[320] modern physics,[321][322] the scientific method,[323] and modern science.[324] VeikkoL (talk) 07:45, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

The Lead needs to be summarized, my proposal is to keep the same core content and sources, removing only accessory information. Four paragraphs, the maximum accepted in Wikipedia for large articles:
"Italy (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja] ⓘ), officially the Italian Republic[lower-alpha 1][1][2] or the Republic of Italy,[3][4] is a country in Southern[5][6][7] and Western[8][note 1] Europe. Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea, it consists of a peninsula delimited by the Alps and surrounded by several islands; its territory largely coincides with the homonymous geographical region.[9] Italy shares land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia and the enclaved microstates of Vatican City and San Marino. It has a territorial exclave in Switzerland, Campione, and some islands in the African Plate. Italy covers an area of 301,230 km2 (116,310 sq mi), with a population of about 60 million.[10] It is the third-most populous member state of the European Union, the sixth-most populous country in Europe, and the tenth-largest country in the continent by land area. Italy's capital and largest city is Rome.
The territory was mainly inhabited by Italic peoples and the Etruscans, while due to its central geographic location in the Mediterranean, the country has also historically been home to myriad peoples and cultures, who immigrated to the peninsula throughout history.[11][12] The Latins formed the Roman Kingdom in the 8th century BC, which eventually became a Republic and, by the first century BC, a Roman Empire, which consolidated as the dominant power in the Mediterranean Basin inaugurating the Pax Romana.[13][14] During the Early Middle Ages, Italy endured the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Barbarian Invasions, but by the 11th century, numerous city-states and maritime republics, mostly in the North, became prosperous through trade, commerce, and banking, laying the groundwork for modern capitalism.[15][16] The Renaissance began in Florence and spread to the rest of Europe, bringing a renewed interest in humanism, science, exploration, and art. During the Middle Ages, Italian explorers helped to usher in the European Age of Discovery, however, centuries of rivalry and infighting between the Italian city-states, the conquest by European powers and the Italian Wars, left Italy politically fragmented.[17][18] Italy's commercial and political power significantly waned with the decline of the Catholic Church and the increasing importance of trade routes that bypassed the Mediterranean.[19]
By the mid-19th century, rising Italian nationalism, along with other social, economic, and military events, led to a period of revolutionary political upheaval.[20] Italy was almost entirely unified in 1861 following a war of independence, establishing the Kingdom of Italy and acquired a short-lived colonial empire.[21] From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Northern Italy rapidly industrialised,[22] while the south remained largely impoverished and excluded from industrialisation.[23] Despite being one of the victorious allied powers in World War I, Italy entered a period of economic crisis and social turmoil, leading to the rise of the Italian fascist dictatorship in 1922. The participation of Italy in World War II on the Axis led to the Italian surrender to Allied powers and its occupation by Nazi Germany, followed by the rise of the Italian Resistance and the subsequent Italian Civil War and liberation of Italy. After the war, the country abolished its monarchy, established a democratic unitary parliamentary republic, and enjoyed a prolonged economic boom, becoming a major advanced economy.[24]
Italy has the eighth-largest nominal GDP (third in the European Union) in the world, the ninth-largest national wealth and the third-largest central bank gold reserve. The country has been described as the "least of the great powers", and it has a significant role in regional[25][26] and global[27][28] economic, military, cultural, and diplomatic affairs. Italy is a founding and leading member of the European Union and a member of numerous international institutions, including the United Nations, NATO, the OECD, the G7, the Latin Union, the Schengen Area, and many more. The source of many inventions and discoveries, the country is considered a cultural superpower and has influenced and contributed to many diverse fields.[29] It has the world's largest number of World Heritage Sites (58), and is the world's fifth-most visited country."

Italy homeland of the Romans.
At its peak, just before WWII, the Italian Empire comprehended the territories of present time Italy, Albania, Rhodes, Dodecanese, Libya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, the majority of Somalia and the little concession of Tientsin in China
Answering to the call of bringing this to the talk page. Since there is general agreement that we need a shorter intro, I propose to replace the 2nd, 3rd and 4th parapraphs with the following:
Italy was the homeland of the ancient Romans and of many other Italic peoples, as well as a location where different peoples and cultures have migrated to throughout history. The Roman Kingdom, founded in the 8th century BC, eventually became the Roman Republic and, by the first century BC, the Roman Empire, which consolidated as the dominant power in the Mediterranean basin, inaugurating the Pax Romana. During the Early Middle Ages, Italy endured the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the Barbarian Invasions, but
by the 11th century, numerous city-states and maritime republics, mostly in the North, became prosperous through trade, commerce, and banking, laying the groundwork for modern capitalism. The Renaissance began in Florence and spread to the rest of Europe, bringing a renewed interest in humanism, science, and art, while Italian explorers helped to usher in the European Age of Discovery. However, centuries of rivalry and wars between the Italian states as well as conquests and invasions by European powers left Italy politically fragmented.
By the mid-19th century, rising Italian nationalism, along with other social, economic, and military events, led to a period of revolutionary political upheaval. Italy was almost entirely unified in 1861 following a war of independence, establishing the Kingdom of Italy and acquired a colonial empire. From the late 19th century to the early 20th century, Northern Italy rapidly industrialised, while the south remained largely impoverished and excluded from industrialisation. From 1915 to 1918, Italy fought in World War I on the side of the Entente. In 1922, following a period of turmoil and the march on Rome, Italy became a fascist dictatorship. During World War II, Italy was first one of the Axis powers (1943-1945) and then a co-belligerent of the Allies (1943-1945). After the war, the country became a democratic republic via a referendum and enjoyed a prolonged economic boom, becoming a major advanced economy.
Tbf we may still remove some stuff and add instead other infos, (personally I think the Etruscans, Magna Graecia, and the Catholic Church/papal states deserve a mention) but for now let's start with this, which is less overblown and more workable than the current version.

A short observation: I think that in the lead we should mention that Italy is the birthplace of the catholic church, with the Roman Empire one of the two universal institutions born in the peninsula. Alex2006 (talk) 16:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
Taking a look at the summary made by the last editors here, I notice a bit of exaggeration, Italy is undoubtedly a country with an immense history and culture, and this summary claiming that the led is too long summarized this story in a few sentences. Other articles from European countries like Spain have a led practically 3 times larger than this article, explaining the history of the country in detail (without any warning that the led is too big). Now this last removal of talking about the Roman empire out of the blue is just ridiculous. Pretounud (talk) 11:28, 26 July 2023 (UTC)
The failure to create an Italian nation-state in parallel with other Italian nation states (England, France, Spain...) is one of the most important factors (if not the most important) in post-Roman Italian national history. So explaining the causes in the lead is not an unnecessary detail. The italian intelligentsia began to deal with this problem with Machiavelli and Guicciardini, and it continues to this day. Since the causes do not belong to a specific period, but have remained the same for centuries, and because of their intrinsic importance, it is important to mention them in the lead. I am open to discussing where to put them in the lead, and having them in the unification section is a very good idea. Alex2006 (talk) 09:17, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

In the introductory section pertaining the history of Italy in WW2 there's a section which is not clear:
"During World War II, Italy was first part of the Axis until it surrendered to the Allied powers and was occupied by Nazi Germany with fascist collaboration (1940-1943) and then a co-belligerent of the Allies during the Italian resistance and the liberation of Italy (1943-1945)."
should be changed to:
"During World War II, Italy was first part of the Axis until it surrendered to the Allied powers in 1943 and as part of its territory was occupied by Nazi Germany with fascist collaboration it became a co-belligerent of the Allies during the Italian resistance and the liberation of Italy (1943-1945)."
In the original sentence it is not clear that (1940-1943) Italy was entirely fighting alongside with the Axis and (1943-1945) it was split in two parts: one fighting for the liberation of Italy and one occupied by Nazi Germany with fascist collaboration. 94.33.221.212 (talk) 13:35, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Italy is certainly not "Located in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea". It's is a peninsula which extends southward from continental Europe toward the center of the Mediterranean Sea. Willit63 (talk) 11:26, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Isn't the country's official name in English; the Italian Republic? If it HAS changed, I don't need to edit the page. Josh0108 (alt) (talk) 16:01, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
