It was the first government of the Italian Republic led by a non-Parliamentarian and the last government led by Christian Democrats.

Former communists joined the government for the first time since 1947, but they left the government after a few days.

Indeed, on 4 May 1993, a few days later the settlement of the government, the Democratic Party of the Left and the Federation of the Greens withdrew their ministers, in protest against the failed authorization to proceed against Bettino Craxi by the Chamber of Deputies. The PDS ministers were replaced with independents.

The cabinet obtained the confidence in the Chamber of Deputies on 7 May 1993, with 309 votes in favour, 60 against and 182 abstentions, and in the Senate on 12 May 1993, with 162 votes in favour, 36 against and 50 abstentions. The Democratic Party of the Left, the Northern League, the Italian Republican Party and the Greens refrained from voting for confidence in the government.

The government resigned on 13 January 1994.
