Well, if you call what is going on in italy "turmoil" I must remind you that no one has assaulted major political sites in their capitol in a decade, at least in a major way. Anyway who ever said that turmoil is mutually exclusive with engineering prowess?

To be entirely honest what italy has in terms of political situation is an excess of stability, but i digress.

Anyway the real issue in my view is that the EU chips act's investment size is anemic compared to the recent equivalent US initiative. But still it's a step in the right direction and the amount allocated to italy is so comparatively small as to be negligible.
