Article aims to discuss the directions and specific features of the reform of the electoral law to parliament in the Republic of Italy. The Italian institutional reforms are an interesting example of electoral engineering, which is treated as a remedy for the dysfunctions of the political system. During the 65 years the principles of the Italian electoral law, especially the method of allocation of mandates, were changed four times. In practice, there were used variants of the proportional system, proportional with majority bonus, and mixed system (proportionalmajority). In 2013, the Italian Parliament has started works on the new electoral reform.
