In Italy, some of the main historical roots of current Euroscepticism are to befound in the way in which the membership into the EC has been conceived,implemented and narrated. Since the 1950s, Italian technocrats often representedthe EC as a key player for the introduction of rules which Italy was ostensibilyunable to draw on its own. Underlying the notion of “external constraintµ therewas a distrust of the national political class. But it would be a mistake to believethat the politicians rejected such concept. On the contrary, most of them soonembraced it. With the entry into force of the EU treaty the external constraintbecame “The Narrativeµ. In particular, the centrality of the monetary goal inthe EU treaty elicited a virtually complete overlapping between the part (theEuro, as well as the Growth and Stability pact and its reforms) and the whole(the EU). The financial and economic crises erupted in 2008 and 2010 turnedthe European synecdoche into a negative paradigm. The Eurosceptic movementand parties abundantly exploited such pitfall. Thus, a pro-European narrativehas become the groundwork for the Eurosceptic counter-narrative.
