In general, while on a subjective level the population shows a prevailing focus on civic virtues, when thinking of their fellow countrymen they tend to emphasise the values of private and personal spheres.<\/p>\n<p>Italians, on a subjective level, indicate at the top of their value scale the <strong>family<\/strong> (35.5%), the ge<strong>responsible management of public affairs<\/strong> (24.0%) and the <strong>the fight against social inequalities<\/strong> (15,1%). On the side of the national community, the ranking changes: in first place comes by far the<strong> economic success<\/strong> (40.3%), well behind the <strong>responsible management of public affairs<\/strong> (26.4%) and thus the <strong>family<\/strong> (18,4%).<\/p>\n<p>\"If the preponderant role assigned to the value of the family could have been easily foreseen,\" argues Daniele Marini, Scientific Director of Community Media Research and Professor at the University of Padua, \"the weight attributed to the two public virtues is certainly less obvious: they are probable signs of the years of crisis and above all of the need for a greater sense of responsibility in the guidance of collective goods.\"<\/p>\n<p>This is what emerges from the<strong>rTD survey<\/strong><b>the Laboratory on Society and Territory, realised by Community Media Research<\/b>which analysed the values considered most important by the population, both subjectively and for the national community.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.communitymediaresearch.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/gente.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-476 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.communitymediaresearch.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/gente-300x182.jpg\" alt=\"gente\" width=\"325\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By combining the various answers offered, it is possible to outline four profiles of Italians with respect to value orientations, both subjectively and collectively. From the subjective point of view, the 'civic-private' orientation (43.9%), i.e. those who choose civic values for themselves above all, though not exclusively, is largely prevalent. This group is likewise followed by the 'universalists' (24.5%), who choose exclusively civic and public values, and the 'civic-personalists' (23.8%) who are more oriented towards private dimensions. Finally, we find the 'personalists' (7.8%), i.e. those inspired only by private aspects. Thus, in general, the symbolic universe of Italians, at a subjective level, appears to be composed mainly of values of a civic nature, while those of a more private nature seem to take second place.<\/p>\n<p>Quite different, and in some respects opposite, is the pantheon attributed to compatriots. Here a 'personalist' (36.9%) and 'civic-personalist' (23.1%) orientation prevails. Less numerous, on the other hand, are the 'universalists' (20.9%) and the 'civic-private' (19.1%).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nell&#8217;immaginario degli italiani la sfera privata dei valori e quella pubblica non sono perfettamente speculari.
