Exhibit 1

Recent Developments update dated September 7, 2010

     The information included in this section supplements the information about the Republic of Italy that is contained in Exhibit D to the Republic’s annual report on Form 18-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. To the extent that the information included in this section differs from the information set forth in the annual report, you should rely on the information in this section.

The Italian Economy

     In 2008 and 2009, Italy’s economy deteriorated significantly as a result of the global economic and financial crisis that started in 2008. Italy’s economy began to show signs of recovery in the first quarter of 2010, when Italy recorded a 0.4 per cent increase in real GDP compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, and a 0.6 per cent increase compared to the first quarter of 2009, based on ISTAT data. Italy’s seasonally adjusted average unemployment rate increased to 8.4 per cent in the first quarter of 2010, from 8.3 per cent recorded during the fourth quarter of 2009. Consumer prices, as measured by the harmonized EU consumer price index, increased at an annual rate of 1.7 per cent during the twelve months ended July 31, 2010.

Measures to Address the 2007-2010 Financial and Economic Crisis

     In addition to the measures taken by the Italian Government to address the banking crisis in 2008 and 2009 the Government took further action in 2010 to contain the effects of the global and financial crisis, to support the economy and accelerate its recovery.

     In May 2010, the Government adopted a decree approving €24.9 billion of measures to be taken in the 2011-2013 period. The decree is aimed at reducing net borrowing to 2.7% in 2012 and increasing Government revenue by decreasing tax avoidance and evasion. A significant proportion of the measures represent cuts to public administration expenditure (principally Ministries and regions). Government expenditure will be reduced also by decreasing fraudulent claims for disability grants, implementing stricter measures to control healthcare spending and reducing senior public servant salaries by 10%. The decree also introduces hiring freezes for public institutions until 2013.

     In June 2009, the Government adopted a decree approving €11.5 billion of measures to be taken in the 2009-2012 period, including deficit-reduction plans for the five regions that recorded the highest healthcare budget deficits. The May 2010 decree also extends to 2013 the deficit-reduction plans introduced in 2009 affecting these five Italian regions.

     In order to stimulate growth in the manufacturing and services industries of the Mezzogiorno, the May 2010 decree also allows certain regions of Southern Italy to reduce regional corporate taxes and to exempt from taxation new productive activities for a period of time to be determined by decree.

Real GDP and Expenditures

Selected Balance of Payments Indicators

     The following table shows the balance of payments for the periods indicated.

Source: Annual Report of the Bank of Italy (May 2010) for the year ended December 31, 2009.

     The improvement of Italy’s current account in 2009 is mainly attributable to a decrease in income deficit to €26.7 billion in 2009 from €29.4 billion in 2008, a €1.7 billion surplus in visible trade in 2009 compared to a €2.1 billion deficit in 2008, and a decrease in current transfers deficit to €13.3 billion in 2009 from €15.6 billion in 2008.

     The decrease in Italy’s capital account recorded in 2009 was mainly due to the decrease in current transfers surplus to €0.7 billion in 2009 from €0.8 billion in 2008.

     The system for gathering and compiling statistics to calculate Italy’s balance of payment indicators is undergoing significant change. The new system is based mainly on sample surveys of firms and administrative data and incorporates new information on direct investment, services and other investment. The Annual Report of the bank of Italy for 2009 reports that the €31.6 billion entered under errors and omissions in 2009 reflects recording problems that typically arise during such a transition.

Public Finance

     The following table sets forth general government revenues and expenditures and certain other key public finance measures for the periods indicated. The table does not include revenues from privatizations, which are deposited into a special fund for the repayment of Treasury outstanding securities and cannot be used to finance current expenditures. While proceeds from privatizations do not affect the primary balance, they contribute to a decrease in the public debt and consequently the ratio of public debt-to-GDP.

          General government expenditures have increased in each of the last five years, while general government revenues have increased until 2008 and decreased in 2009. General government expenditures rose by 3.1 per cent in 2009, compared to 3.6 per cent in 2008. The increase in total expenditures was driven mainly by the increase in expense for social services, cost of goods and services and capital expenditures, the effect of which was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense. Social services expense increased in 2009 primarily as a result of a 4.3 per cent increase in pension expenditure, compared to a 4.0 per cent increase in 2008. Total cash payments paid by the Government in respect of social benefits represented 19.2 per cent of GDP in 2009 compared to 17.7 per cent in 2008. The increase in social services expense also resulted from a 10.7 per cent increase in expenditures for other social services (such as disability and unemployment benefits) in 2009, compared to 12.1 per cent in 2008. Public health care expenditures growth slowed down to 1.9 per cent in 2009, compared to 6.6 per cent in 2008, partly due to a decrease in expenditures for pharmaceutical products.

          General government revenue decreased by 2.0 per cent in 2009 compared to a 1.1 per cent increase in 2008. The decrease in government revenue is mainly due to direct tax revenue, which decreased by 7.7 per cent in 2009 compared to an increase of 2.8 per cent in 2008, principally due to slower growth in taxable revenue due to the world economic crisis. Similarly and for the same reasons, growth in social security contributions decreased by 0.4 per cent in 2009, compared to a 5.2 per cent increase in 2008. Italy also recorded a 4.4 per cent reduction in indirect tax receipts in 2009 compared to a 5.4 per cent reduction in 2008 generally due to lower VAT receipts. The effect of the decrease in tax revenues was partially offset by an increase in capital revenues linked to tax incentives aimed at repatriation of offshore capital by Italian nationals.

The Budget Process

     On December 31, 2009, Italy enacted legislation (“Law no. 196/2009”) modifying the cycle of economic and financial planning.

     As of 2010, on July 15 of each year, the Ministry of Economy and Finance presents to Parliament guidelines on public finance objectives.

     By September 15 of each year, the Ministry of Economy and finance sends to Parliament a document called the Decisione di Finanza Pubblica (Public Finance Decision) setting forth the objectives of economic policy and the framework of economic and public finance forecasts. The Public Finance Decision also articulates the objectives for central and local administrations and social security institutions, and is expected to be more comprehensive than the current Program Document.

     By October 15 of each year, the Ministry of Economy and Finance presents to Parliament its budgetary package, which consists of the Legge di Stabilità (“Stability Law”) and the Legge del Bilancio dello Stato (“State Budget Law”). The Stability Law sets out the measures for the reference period which are necessary to implement the program objectives indicated in the Public Finance Decision.

     The budget process for the previous year terminates on April 15 of each year, with the publication of the Relazione sull’Economia e la Finanza (Report on the Economy and Finance), replacing the Relazione Unificata sull’Economia e la Finanza (Unified Report on the Economy and Finance). The Report on the Economy and Finance analyses the current state of the economy, sets forth the income statement of public entities and compares such data with the relevant data for the previous year.

     While the Public Finance Decision for 2010 has not yet been published, in May 2010, Italy published the following revisions to its public finance targets:

Composition of Tax Revenues

     The following table sets forth the composition of tax revenues for the periods indicated based on State sector (cash basis) accounting criteria. Direct and indirect tax revenues reflected in this table do not correspond to those shown in the “General Government Revenues and Expenditures” table set forth above, which is prepared on general Government (accrual basis) ESA95 accounting criteria as explained in further detail in footnote 1 to the table.

(1)

The data presented in this table does not correspond to the general Government direct and indirect tax revenue figures contained in the preceding table entitled “General Government Revenues and Expenditures,” primarily because the “Composition of Tax revenues” table is prepared on a cash basis while the “General Government Revenues and Expenditures” table is prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with ESA95. Generally, State sector accounting does not include indirect taxes levied by, and certain amounts allocable to, regional and other local governments and entities. However, because this table is prepared on a cash basis, it reflects tax receipts of entities that are excluded from State sector accounting (such as local government entities) that are collected on their behalf by the State (and subsequently transferred by the State to those entities).

(2)

The taxes classified as “other” are non-recurring and, accordingly, this item is highly variable.

Source: Annual Report of the Bank of Italy (May 2010) for the year ended December 31, 2009.

     In 2009, direct tax receipts decreased by 7.1 per cent compared to 2008, mainly as a result of a reduction in income tax and corporate tax revenues. During 2009, indirect tax receipts (accounted for on a cash basis) also recorded a slight decrease, by 4.2 per cent, mainly as a result of a decrease in VAT revenues. The decrease in indirect tax has been partially offset by a significant increase in revenues from tax on natural gas.

Public Debt — Total Treasury Issues

     The following table shows the total of debt securities issued by the Treasury and outstanding as of the dates indicated. Total Treasury issues differ from Italy’s total public debt as the former do not include liabilities to holders of postal savings accounts, debt incurred by Ferrovie dello Stato S.p.A. and ANAS S.p.A. (Azienda Nazionale Autonoma delle Strade) and debt incurred by other state sector entities, other general government entities and other liabilities reclassified as general Government debt pursuant to Eurostat rulings.

The total amount of external bonds shown above takes into account the effect of these arrangements and is not directly comparable to the total amounts of external bonds indicated in the table “External Bonds of the Treasury as of June 30, 2010” below, which do not take into account: (i) the effect of currency swaps and (ii) the amount of bonds outstanding under Italy’s Commercial Paper Program.
