  • Descrição: Since it emerged in the political life of Italy at the beginning of the 1990s Forza Italia has caused many concerns and controversies among analysts of Italian politics and scholars of political parties. What kind of a political phenomenon is it? Was it a party, a cartel, personalistic or presidential type of modern European political party? Or was it another Italian anomaly that cannot be theoretically generalized and categorized? It turned out that Forza Italia was the Italian expression of general cartelization and presidentialization of contemporary politics which affected three major political arenas: elections, political parties and executive power. The article discusses how it was created, its organizational structure, ideological profile and patterns of political action in these three arenas. The conclusion is that the momentary political rise of Forza Italia was decisively influenced by several contextual factors. These factors are, first, the complete collapse of the old Italian political parties and party system; it has prompted voters to abandon their traditional Catholic and secular political blocs. Second, the origin of the party from media empire; it has enabled Forza Italia to fully colonize politics through the media. Third, Silvio Berlusconi's tendency to enter into political alliances with anti-systematic parties. Fourth, his personal political style which has turned into informal rules of action in political institutions. And fifth, his willingness to use criminogenous methods of action.
