Taking on the barons

Article Abstract:

The government of Italy is attempting to drastically reform the distribution of research grants in the country. Research grant awards in Italy continue to be strongly influenced by people with pull. Efforts to overhaul the system have been blocked for a long time by many members of the Italian parliament who are university professors and who are resistant to any changes that may alter the privileges they enjoy under the current system.
