It did not turn out this way. Instead, the Renzi-Boschi law for constitutional revision, which started its parliamentary procedure in April 2014 and saw its final reading in the Chamber of Deputies in April 2016, was eventually rejected by voters in a confirmative referendum held on 4 December.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e \tChronology of Italian Political Events, 2016\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eRinaldo Vignatti\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Great Reform That Never Was\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eAlessandro Chiaramonte and Alex Wilson\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003ePOLITICS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/strong\u003e Matteo Salvini's Northern League in 2016: Between Stasis and New Opportunities\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eDavide Vampa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/strong\u003e Relations with Europe: Beyond the Vincolo Esterno\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eErik Jones\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy in the Middle East and the Mediterranean: Evolving Relations with Egypt and Libya\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eElisabetta Brighi and Marta Musso\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eINSTITUTIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/strong\u003e The 2016 Municipal Elections\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cem\u003eVincenzo Emanuele and Nicola Maggini\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/strong\u003e Yet Another Failed Attempt to Reform the Italian Constitution Carlo Fusaro 6.
