1901 in Italy

Events from the year 1901 in Italy.

The year was characterized by a strike wave that brought down the government of Prime Minister Giuseppe Saracco in February. There were over 1,671 strikes involving 420,000 workers compared to 410 strikes and 43,000 workers in 1900. In 1901, there were over 1,000 strikes, involving 189,000 workers. There were many agricultural labour strikes in Emila and Lombardy.
With the return of Giovanni Giolitti into government as Minister of the Interior, "Italy entered a period of stable parliamentary government, without excitement or adventures; a period of social reforms and economic prosperity, during which popular discontent could be 'bought off', and the Catholic, Radical or Socialist 'subversives' could be integrated even further into the existing political system," according to historian Martin Clark.
