Centro Studi Politici e Strategici Machiavelli (meaning "Machiavelli Centre for Political and Strategic Studies") is a right-wing think tank based in Italy, whose mission is to promote traditional values and conservative policies.[1][2]
The Machiavelli Centre publishes several articles and reports on its website, and organizes events and debates about political issues. It has been founded by League MP Guglielmo Picchi; Daniele Scalea, lecturer at Niccolo Cusano University and former advisor to Picchi when he was Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs (2018 - 2019);[3] and Dario Citati, at the time researcher in Political Geography at Sapienza University of Rome.[4]
According to several media outlets, in 2018 the think tank deeply influenced the Italian government's immigration policies.[5][6][7] In the same year, the Machiavelli Centre has been ranked among the most important right-wing think tanks in Italy,[8] and among the four leading think tanks related to the League party.[9]
The minister of education Giuseppe Valditara is a member of Machiavelli’s scientific committee.[10]
The Centre has relationships also with think tanks and foundations abroad, including the International Republican Institute and The Heritage Foundation.[11]
