Translation of "small-mindedness" into Italian

I sometimes wish there were less small-mindedness, less fearfulness and less scepticism within the European Union.

Talvolta vorrei che ci fossero meno meschinità, meno paure e meno scetticismo nell’Unione europea.

That's the same kind of small-mindedness I had to put up with when I was the district's leadinrusher.

E'la stessa ristrettezza mentale con la quale ho avuto a che fare quando ero il corridore piu'veloce del distretto.
