Trust in political parties is growing slowly but steadily, marking a reversal after years of difficulty. Sardinia and Marche show the most pronounced progress, with increases of over 45% from 2011 to 2023. The recovery in trust appears homogeneous, with improvements both in Northern and Southern Italy.
