In a series of questions about the greater good, 40% of respondents said they are willing to visit the sick, 36% said they are prepared to give a hand in natural disasters, 37% said they are willing to help maintain schools, and 34% said they would help clean up beaches and forests. The report also showed Italians are still undaunted by recession, raging unemployment, tax hikes and austerity. While 85% defined themselves as worried and 71% declared themselves indignant, just 26.5% said they are frustrated and 13% identified as desperate.

A greater proportion, or 46%, said they want to do something to change the situation but don’t know what, while 67% said they feel they are not represented in politics.
