The Legislature XVI of Italy (Italian: XVI Legislatura della Repubblica Italiana) started on 29 April 2008 and ended on 14 March 2013.[1][2] Its composition resulted from the snap election of 13–14 April 2008, called after President Giorgio Napolitano dissolved the houses on 6 February 2008.[3] The dissolution of the Parliament was a consequence of the defeat of the incumbent government led by Romano Prodi during a vote of confidence in the Senate.[4]
The legislature was dissolved by President Napolitano on 22 December 2012, a few months before the end of its natural five-year term.[5]
