This paper explores the concept of financial resilience in the context of English local government and Italian municipal government. It provides a comparison of initial findings of exploratory studies undertaken within the two countries and identifies whether any useful lessons can be learnt as public administrations below the national level continue to be beset by the effects of the on-going age of austerity. It also shows that financial resilience can be a multifaceted concept, taking on different forms, as there might be different ways of coping with the unexpected.

Abstract
This paper explores the concept of financial resilience in the context of English local government and Italian municipal government. It provides a comparison of initial findings of exploratory studies undertaken within the two countries and identifies whether any useful lessons can be learnt as public administrations below the national level continue to be beset by the effects of the on-going age of austerity. It also shows that financial resilience can be a multifaceted concept, taking on different forms, as there might be different ways of coping with the unexpected.
