Italy's proposed 'differentiated autonomy' reform is sparking debate across the country.

The center-right government's plan would allow regions to request greater autonomy in up to 23 areas.

Supporters argue it will improve services and spending efficiency, while critics fear it could widen regional inequalities.

A recent survey shows that 55% of Italians are poorly informed about the reform.

Concerns are particularly strong in the South, but skepticism exists even in the North.

Opposition parties have begun collecting signatures for a referendum to repeal the law.

Currently, 58% of decided voters would vote to abolish the reform, though overall turnout remains uncertain.
