dallopinione

Dallopinione is a digital platform and research initiative focused on public opinion and civic discourse. It combines data collection, analysis, and explanatory journalism to illuminate how opinions form, shift, and interact with policy and media narratives. The project operates as a nonprofit organization, with governance including an editorial board, a scientific advisory committee, and a technical team responsible for data pipelines and open-access visualizations.

It emerged in the early 2020s from a collaboration among universities, independent researchers, and media partners seeking greater transparency in opinion data. It aims to publish transparent methodologies, maintain open datasets, publish accessible explainers, and foster informed public discussion.

The platform conducts recurring national surveys, analyzes social media and forum discussions, and triangulates results with existing polls. It publishes reports, explainers, interactive dashboards, and datasets. It provides an API and supports reproducible research through open code and documentation. Its editorial approach emphasizes neutrality and clarity, with explicit notes on sampling, weighting, and limitations.

The project has been cited in academic and journalistic contexts as a case study in transparent data journalism. Critics have noted potential biases in online samples and self-selection, which the project addresses through weighting and methodological notes. It has supported training programs for reporters and researchers and contributed to policy discussions by offering timely, digestible insights.
