The article analyses trust in government in Italy during the so-called phase 1 ofthe COVID-19 emergency, employing a survey carried out by the University ofCambridge in March 2020. The analysis uncovers that trust in government ishigher among the oldest and the youngest (voting-age) citizens, independentlyfrom their political orientation. Contrary to the former’s more individualisticand straightforward reasons, the young do not appear to be guided by self-interest.They are more affected by the economic crisis and less fragile in terms ofthe health consequences of the virus than the oldest cohorts. Our hypothesis isthat the young’s higher levels of trust are related to some sort of «cognitive mobilization»: they learn for the first time what politics is, its influence on peoples’lives, and how necessary it can be in the event of an emergency. In their case, itis a first-time consciousness-raising experience.
