In accordance with Article 138 of the Constitution, a referendum was called because the constitutional law had not been approved by a qualified majority of two-thirds in each house of parliament in the second vote. The constitutional referendum rejected the law by 59.11% of the votes, meaning the constitutional reform will not come into effect.
After the first exit polls, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi announced on a midnight press conference his resignation the next day. In his speech, Renzi assumed a full responsibility for the referendum defeat.

But how we arrived to the constitutional referendum?
The proposals passed both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate six time, three for each house. After that Renzi announced that he would hold a referendum to secure the endorsement of the Italian people for the change.
Today is the day. We are going to vote on the costitutional referendum in Italy. I decided to create some datavizzes on this occasion. The first one is a brief history of italian referendum, from 1974 to the last one on oil and natural gas drilling, that was held in Italy on 17 April 2016.
I'm very proud because this is the first dataviz I can publish on the site of one of the main italian newspapers. I'm talking about Il Sole24Ore, an Italian national daily business newspaper. With is InfoData Blog, Il Sole24Ore is trying to give a space to data journalism. This is the link: http://www.infodata.ilsole24ore.com/2016/12/04/litalia-referendum-dal-1974-oggi-tutti-numeri/
