4 unusual facts about Generation Italy


Generation Italy

The Finiani who voted against the resolution were 13 out of 172 members of the Committee: Roberta Angelilli, Andrea Augello, Italo Bocchino, Carmelo Briguglio, Cesare Cursi, Fabio Granata, Donato Lamorte, Silvano Moffa, Flavia Perina, Andrea Ronchi, Salvatore Tatarella, Adolfo Urso and Pasquale Viespoli.

Generation Italy was launched in April 2010 by Italo Bocchino, at the time the deputy-leader of the PdL in the Chamber of Deputies, in order to better represent Fini's views within the party and to push for a different party organization, which was thought to be too dependent on Berlusconi's personality.

Although most Finiani, such as Bocchino, Adolfo Urso, Fabio Granata, Carmelo Briguglio, Flavia Perina and Giulia Bongiorno, are perfectly in line with Fini on moral issues and immigration, many others, including Andrea Ronchi, take a very different approach on these issues.

On 20 April 52 MPs (39 deputies and 13 senators) signed a document in support of Fini and his theses, while other 74 MPs formerly members of AN, including Ignazio La Russa, Maurizio Gasparri, Altero Matteoli and Giorgia Meloni, plus the Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno, signed an alternative document in which they reasserted their loyalty to the party and Berlusconi.
