Yeah, the food in Italy is pretty amazing. I actually like it more than France.
Anyway Draghi is from a rich banking family so I always feel he owes his rise to nepotism.

Having the Regional governments appoint members of their parliaments into the federal senate.

Having the House of Deputies elected via proportional representation.
Maybe it would stabilize the country?

253 of the 400 deputies are already chosen via PR, 147(including the 8 expat seats) are chosen through FPTP. In a similar vein, 126 Senators are chosen via PR, 74 are FPTP, and there are also 5 ex officio Senators for life as well as all surviving former Presidents.

That sounds like a mess and why stable governments can't form. Tbh both houses seem redundant especially since the senate is proportional based on the population of the regions.

No messier than Germany's MMP legislature. The main reason why stable governments can't form in Italy has more to do with internal intrigues within a government rather than external differences between parties. This, by the way, is also why PMs in more recent years tend to be independent technocrats rather than leaders of political parties.

There's plenty of smaller parties they could choose to prop up. Volt Italia, my own preference of Nuove Energie, Art.1, Italexit, and so on.
