In an interview with Sputnik Italia, Roberto Panetta, assistant professor of civil law at the Milan-based Bocconi University, said that most Italians are in the dark when it comes to the purpose of the referendum related to reforms of the Italian Constitution.

Italians will go to the polls on December 4 to vote on constitutional reforms proposed by Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's government, including cutting the Senate's powers.

The popular vote aims to introduce a constitutional change that will give the lower and the upper house of the Italian parliament equal powers. Renzi advocates for the 'yes' vote.
