- Number of Prime Ministers since the end of World War II: 32 (29 since the proclamation of the Republic in 1946)
Records
[edit ]- Longest government: Berlusconi II (three years, ten months, and twelve days, or 1,412 days).
- Shortest government: De Gasperi VIII (seventeen days).
- Most terms as head of government: Alcide De Gasperi (eight, all consecutive!).
- Longest cumulative term as head of government:[1] Alcide De Gasperi (seven years, ten months, and twenty-two days, or 2,792 days[2] ).
- Longest period without a new Prime Minister:[3] eleven years and seven months (from the investiture of Massimo D'Alema to that of Mario Monti).

Main Prime Ministers
[edit ]Only those Prime Ministers who have completed at least three terms are listed (party and number of terms in parentheses)
- Alcide De Gasperi (DC, eight)
- Giulio Andreotti (DC, seven)
- Amintore Fanfani (DC, six)
- Aldo Moro (DC, five)
- Mariano Rumor (DC, five)
- Silvio Berlusconi (FI - PdL, four)
These six men alone account for thirty-five of the sixty-two Prime Ministerial terms since the end of the war. It is also worth noting that none of them come from the centre-left (although all those from its ranks have served two terms, before the current legislature).
Notes and references
[edit ]- ^ By combining all terms served, consecutively or not
- ^ With one less term, Giulio Andreotti had seven years, six months, and one day, or 2,736 days, non-consecutive
- ^ New meaning a person who has never held this position in their career.
