From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The
prime minister of Italy
is the head of the
Council of Ministers
, which holds effective executive power in the
Italian government
.
[1]
[2]
The first officeholder was
Camillo Benso, Count of Cavour
, who was sworn in on 23 March 1861 after the
unification of Italy
.
[3]
Cavour previously served as
Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia
, an office from which the Italian prime minister took most of its powers and duties.
[4]
During the
monarchy period
, prime ministers were appointed by the
king of Italy
, as laid down in the
Albertine Statute
.
[5]
From 1925 until
the fall of his regime
in 1943, fascist dictator
Benito Mussolini
formally modified the office title to "Head of Government, Prime Minister and Secretary of State".
[6]
From 1861 to 1946, 30 men served as prime ministers, leading 67 governments in total.
[7]
After the abolition of the
Kingdom of Italy
in 1946 and the proclamation of the
Italian Republic
, the office was established by Articles 92 through 96 of the
Constitution of Italy
.
Alcide De Gasperi
is the only prime minister who has held this position both in the Kingdom of Italy and in the Republic of Italy.
The prime minister is appointed by the
President of the Republic
and must receive a confidence vote by both houses of
Parliament
: the
Chamber of Deputies
and the
Senate
.
[8]
From 1946 to 2022, in the first 76 years after the creation of the Republic, 30 men served as prime ministers.
[9]
[10]
The current officeholder is
Giorgia Meloni
, who was appointed on 22 October 2022, becoming the first woman to hold this office.
[11]
[12]
The
longest-serving prime minister
in the history of Italy was Benito Mussolini, who
ruled the country from 1922 until 1943
;
[13]
the longest-serving prime minister of the Italian Republic is
Silvio Berlusconi
, who held the position for more than nine years between 1994 and 2011.
[14]
The shortest-serving officeholder was
Tommaso Tittoni
, who served as prime minister for only 16 days in 1905,
[15]
while the shortest-serving prime minister of the Italian Republic was
Fernando Tambroni
, who governed for 123 days in 1960.
