It would be difficult for leftist and center-left forces, because it was not yet clear what possible alliance able to govern they could form, Palmerini explained.

As for the center-right, it would struggle as well, considering the "tight negotiations" ongoing between former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's center-right Forza Italia (FI) party and the Northern League.

Whatever steps Italian parties will decide to take, however, some dynamics seen in Germany were to be repeated in Italy's next campaign, according to the head of the European Program with Rome-based Institute for International Political Studies (ISPI), Antonio Villafranca.

"The trend towards the weakening of mainstream parties has just emerged in Germany, as it did in other countries in recent years, and it is likely to develop in Italy as well," Villafranca told Xinhua.

"Current opinion polls related to the next general elections show in fact a condition of wide fragmentation within our political landscape," he explained. "As a result, it will be probably difficult to form a government, whatever side is going to win elections."
