Reception
"With the first instant doc on the March vote, Giorgio J. Squarcia recounts the true great novelty of the latest elections, the first in Italy's history to be played out and won on social networks."
Monica Rubino
"The first systematic document on politicians' behavior on social networks during the election campaign. Is the idea that we now come to power via social media an obvious exaggeration, or is it the permanent scenario from now on?"
