Decreto-legge 149/2013
After public
funding.
Italy abolished the reimbursement of election expenses and direct grants to parties between 2014 and 2017. What is left is the taxpayers' choice: two thousandths of their income tax, if they tick a party's box.

2.216.663 taxpayers chose a party — about one in twenty. The Partito Democratico, whose voters tick the box most, collected a third of the total; Fratelli d'Italia, first in the polls, a fifth.
