You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The term '''Constitutional arch''' (((Lang-it|Arco costituzionale))) was used in the post-war [[Italy|Italian]] political discourse to describe the parties that had taken part in the drafting and approval of the [[Italian Constitution]], and which persisted as a loose coalition on certain policymaking issues.

According to historian Claudio Pavone<ref>((cite book |last=Pavone |first=Claudio |editor-last=Bevilacqua |editor-first=Piero |title=Lezioni sull'Italia repubblicana |chapter=L'eredità della guerra civile e il nuovo quadro istituzionale |publisher=Donzelli |date=1994 |isbn=8879890700))</ref> the arch was the informal heir to the [[National Liberation Committee]], which had been established in 1943 to represent the anti-fascist parties that would go on to form the political leadership of post-war Italy. Even if the left-wing Socialist and Communist parties had been expelled from the government coalition in 1947 the anti-fascist arch survived as a consensus on parliamentary institutions and the exclusion of the [[Neo-fascism|neo-fascist]] [[Italian Social Movement]] from government roles and political influence.

The concept became prominent after the fall of the controversial [[Tambroni Cabinet]] in 1960, and was used throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

The arch included the [[Christian Democracy (Italy)|Christian Democracy]], the [[Italian Communist Party]], the [[Italian Socialist Party]] and its splinter [[Italian Democratic Socialist Party]], the [[Italian Liberal Party]], and the [[Italian Republican Party]]. These were all the major parties at the time with the exception of the [[Monarchist National Party]] and the [[Italian Social Movement]]. The [[Action Party (Italy)|Action Party]], which had a significant role in the resistance movement and contributed to the works of the Constituent Assembly, disbanded in 1947 and is thus not included in the definition.

The main effect was to establish an asymmetry between the two wings of the opposition. While the Communist Party was effectively excluded from government posts and hypothetical coalitions until its dissolution in 1991 it nonetheless played an important role in policymaking through its participation in parliamentary committees and local administrations, while neo-fascists were consistently marginalised in political life.

One of the last overt expressions of the constitutional arch was the [[1978 Italian presidential election|election]] of former partisan leader [[Sandro Pertini]] as President of the Republic in 1978, with the largest majority in a presidential vote in Italian history.

The constitutional arch was challenged in the late 1970s by [[Bettino Craxi]], the new leader of the Socialist Party, who demanded sweeping constitutional reforms, an option hitherto rejected by major parties, and offered the chairmanship of the Board of Elections of the [[Italian Chamber of Deputies|Chamber of Deputies]] to the Italian Social Movement.

The arch finally ended in the early 1990s, with the collapse of all of its member parties and the decision of [[Silvio Berlusconi]] to found the [[Pole of Good Government]], a coalition that included the Italian Social Movement and its post-fascist successors.
