Let's take a look at the relationship between Italians and men and women in uniform. Let's talk about the approval rating.

Let's start with the police, a beacon for the Italians. The Arma dei Carabinieri records a growth in those who place their trust. It goes from 73,4% to 74%. The figure is all the more striking if we consider that the weapon had experienced a contraction in 2014 compared to the average obtained from 2010 onwards.

Trust in the State Police has seen a slow and steady growth in the period from 2008 to 2013, the year in which citizens' trust reached 75%. The following year, this preference decreased significantly to 61,8%. Already in 2015, however, there was a slight recovery (63%) which this year (presumably also thanks to a communication closer to the citizens thanks to the use of Web and Social) in a return to the best performances of previous years and an increase of 10 percentage points (73%).

The Guardia di Finanza maintains the same good consensus result achieved last year (66,8%).

The Forestry Corps scores in 2016 with an increase compared to last year: 70,1% of the votes (+ 5,5%). Substantial stability also for the penitentiary police, which passes from 57,8% to 57,1% of the confidence expressed.

Even for the three classic armed forces, the trust placed by the citizens is always high with growing data. The Navy is the first to gather further consensus with respect to the excellent result of last year (73,5%) and stands at 75,4%.

The Italian Army is also growing, expanding the audience of consensus passing from 59,3% of confidence in 2014 to 68,4% in 2015 up to this year's figure of 72,9% (+ 4,5%).

Towards the top and it could not be otherwise the already very high goals achieved in recent years by the Air Force which collects 2016% of the votes in 74,9 with an increase of 2014 points compared to 9,7.
