"Per fare un puzzle bisogna sempre partire dagli angoli”. Questa massima può tornarci utile per capire cosa sta succedendo negli ultimi tempi: se paragonassimo la situazione politica italiana ad un puzzle dove interessi economici e politici si intersecano creando una complicata scacchiera, da dove we could start to rebuild the mosaic and have a clear vision of the historical period analyzed our energy policy?
The aim should start with a bold date: May 15, 2009

That day Italy rejoined with arrogance on the international stage by signing the agreement for the passage of the gas pipeline South Stream on national soil and to create SeverEnergia, a joint venture between Gazprom, Eni and Enel. On that date, Italy for the first time since post-war Italy has been linked politically to Russia. Lovers of contemporary history knows what happened in the 70s during the cold war in which Italy divenne luogo di scontro tra le due superpotenze, e sappiamo che la penisola italica è sempre stata terra di scontri per il suo ruolo strategico al centro del mediterraneo, non sono il primo a sostenerlo e a dirlo …
nave sanza nocchiero in gran tempesta,

non donna di province, ma bordello!

(Dante)

Torniamo al 2009 ed in particolare modo alla joint-venture SeverEnergia che scopriamo possedere il 100% di tre società (Arcticgaz, Urengoil e Neftegaztechnologia) strategiche per la definizione di un politica energetica nazionale strong and independent, because the holders of licenses for the exploration of hydrocarbon deposits (especially gas reserves).
In a world where national sovereignty is positively related to the ability of a nation to be energy self-sufficient ", this strategic decision is an attempt to break the chains of foreign energy dependence, the second because the first attempt crashed to the ground October 27, 1962 at Bescapè with the plane of Enrico Mattei
. In our analysis will omit aspects related to the forthcoming energy crisis caused by peak oil that is my personal conviction (supported by data) and As a matter of objective fact established.
The South Stream pipeline, we have seen., Was preferred to the rival pipeline project sponsored by the U.S. and EU: Nabucco.
South Stream gas to Europe will take advantage of two lines: a first arm direct to Austria and Germany and a second transiting on Hellenic soil ending in Puglia providing gas to Italy: the path is in direct competition with that of rival as seen from the map.

Also the map we can see the two countries to a strategic one for South Stream and Nabucco's rival, Turkey and Iran . These nations can say that foreign policy strategy that also suggest to come under the wing of Russian influence had signed agreements that favor the South Stream gas pipeline (Turkey) or by having trade agreements on gas with the same Russia (Iran).
The fact that Turkey and Russia today to sit at the table to sign a deal on your pipeline is thus a 360-degree turn in the past 500 years of relations between Moscow and Ankara ... First, Ankara is increasingly moving away Washington. Or at least, shows signs of some dissatisfaction.

******************** some news agencies will help you understand:

(correre.it) ANKARA - Hugs and kisses with Vladimir Putin, as always. Congratulations and thanks from Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The Knight in Turkey is like being at home: two hours of trilateral unstaffed with two leading him among the most expensive, then the presence in the front row at a press conference in which the Russian-Turkish cuts (admittedly) the role of godfather of mediation between Ankara and Moscow ... ..

(Eurasia) Iran is also very interested in involving the Russians in building a system for the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) refinery in Golestan province in the north and a gas pipeline in the Caspian port of Neka to the port of Jaska in the Gulf of Oman. The Iranian authorities are ready to examine the proposals of the Russian companies for the direct execution of new oil and gas fields in Iran, without any offer of contract ... ...

(Businness Online) E ' in this context that created the "gas troika" that will be formed from Qatar, Iran and Russia, which has 1,680 trillion cubic feet of gas. The world of today, you will then deal with this "sign energy "in a position to dictate its laws.

(MadArabNews) Although Tehran has criticized the positions of Russia, Moscow is the defender in Iran with economic sanctions, although China, which has a much greater economic interest in Iran, is interested in relieving the pressure against Tehran more than any other state.

********************
The news can be found to substantiate what many say is just do a search on any engine research; What I want to emphasize is how ver the past two months, these countries have undergone at least suspicion of interference in their national policy.
in Turkey in January was foiled a military coup plotted by a fringe of Erodogan army against the government, the Prime Minister that he signed agreements with Putin in Iran But I think there is no need for me dwell to tell how the propaganda machine is moved to attack on every front. Russia has now proposed as a mediator in order to preserve its economic and commercial interests, a war on Iranian soil to ensure a supply Nabucco gas pipeline (as happened in Iraq) and weaken the Russian-Iranian trade agreements.
Russia and USA compete on several fronts: political, military, economic and others, are creating allies, are moving their pawns and Italy is as history has always taught us a strategic country. Dear readers, we are During the cold war!
I could dwell on this cold war reloaded, I promise that I will soon, but I think most interesssante return to Italian soil, and understand what is happening. The pro-Russian countries or important to the U.S. strategy of destabilization attempts have been: I would say that Italy being one of these countries is in the midst of the clash between the two factions. Before and after the time when the agreement South Stream was signed on May 15, 2009 April, the international financial powers that decide U.S. policy (the open secret of the Fed) began to attack the media as a government of Silvio Berlusconi by the Republic and the Financial Times, I will not go on the accuracy of charge or give an opinion on the person I just want to analyze the events of the last twelve months Italic using a key to interpreting other than tabloid fed into the populace.
The premier has repeatedly been attacked by Republic newspaper belonging to the Gruppo Editoriale L'Espresso SpA This editorial is holding in his hand to the family by Benedetti Cirgroup whose shareholder the majority of family financial Cofide; this game of Chinese boxes helps us to understand who is attacking the front Silvio Berlusconi.
Carlo de Benedetti was in the late 70's the golden boy of the house Fiat, this alliance with the carmaker is information that can be useful later to figure out which pieces are moved on the chessboard, Mr. De Benedetti is the man of the powerful Rothschild family of bankers (not having the physical space to explain why this great friendship I recommend reading this article should be skeptical of my last statement) influential family in the U.S. economy. The other newspaper, The Financial Times did not think that needs no introduction. In the Italian theater

have followed moves and counter moves, having decided to talk about energy policy we can not get lost in all the details.
The second choice of energy policy made by the Berlusconi government has stated that now the ultimate break with the side of the Atlantic have been trade agreements with Libya.
The energy cooperation between Italy and Libya is officially born under the Berlusconi government Greenstream 2004 with the construction of a pipeline which has enabled the partnership between Eni and NOC to export and market the gas in Libya Europe. In 2008, in exchange for compensation amounting to 5 billion for the colonial past Libya has granted privileged access to Italy's ENI to its natural resources which make up 25 percent oil and 33 percent of gas consumed in Italy, also the 'Eni has signed new agreements for gas and oil resulting in a "privileged" position until 2047 for the exploitation of such resources all over Libya.
Libya is a strategic ally in energy policy since the ninth world oil reserves and Russia has long decided to put it under its protectorate as evidenced by numerous commercial and military agreements.

as in 2009 after the signing of the contract with South Stream followed an attack by the print media so pro-American after the conclusion of these agreements occurred in 2010 started a second wave of pressure to do down the government.
