A southern European country, bordering France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia, Italy also surrounds two micro States (Vatican City and San Marino). Since the abolition of the monarchy in 1946, Italy has operated as a parliamentary democracy, with both a presidential head of state and a prime minister leading the government. Currently, the major human rights concerns in Italy centre around discrimination against people from Romani background and the treatment of migrants.
