This article looks at the relationship between specific national attitudes and predispositions towards politics and the understanding of public issues by examining the environmental discourse in the Italian press. Two features of the Italian political culture: (1) the mistrust which characterizes the relations between citizens and their government and (2) the personalization of politics, are selected as factors determining a nationally specific `narrative structure' which organizes Italian press discourse on environmental issues. The issue of political corruption relating to environmental problems plays the role of intermediate variable, which highlights the use of the specific `narrative structure'. The analysis is based on texts taken from the Italian daily press in the period 1987-91. Reflections about the general validity of this `narrative structure' with regard to other policy domains are addressed briefly at the end of the article
