Abstract:
The thesis aims to look at the history of the European Union, from the end of the Second World War to the establishment of the ESM. Two focuses, one about the ESM itself, one about the Recovery Fund, constitute the pivotal part of the thesis. Finally, a look at the situation of Italy and its problems reguarding its lack in adapting to the Eurozone and the Euro are done to imply how problems that developed in the country since the Seventies can't be attribueted to the European single currency.
