supplement to the previous, an interesting article by Massimo Nicolazzi, I would like to add some considerations numbers on the Italian energy vulnerability that maybe can help you better understand the relationship with the current tense situation in the north of Africa.
First, note that the gross consumption of primary energy of our country in 2009 depended for 40,
64% from petroleum, natural gas 35.43%, total more than 76%. If you include coal, our dependence on fossil fuels is approaching 85%.
transport depends on oil for 94% and account for 64.1% of the final consumption of oil.
the Italian electricity production, which represents about 35% of gross domestic energy primary, oil now accounts for less than 5%, while natural gas for about 45%.
The final sales of natural gas to about 31.5% of the electricity generating sector, the industry 28.6%, 31.2% in the household, 8, 7%, trade and services .
In the first chart above, I put in order the Petroleum Exporting Countries to Italy and the respective percentages. In the second graph I did the same thing with regard to natural gas.
Finally, I conclude with an instructive curiosity in the third graph, which represents the domestic production of natural gas (currently about 10% of total consumption). Even we had our peak in 1994.

As usual, all the graphics you can enlarge by clicking on it.
