The government, in office from 28 June 1981[1] to 23 August 1982,[2] was led by for the first time in the republican history of Italy by a non-Christian Democrat Prime Minister, the Republican Spadolini. However, [Christian Democracy](/source/Christian_Democracy_(Italy)) (DC) maintained the majority of ministries, while forming a large coalition of five parties (*[Pentapartito](/source/Pentapartito)*) with [Italian Socialist Party](/source/Italian_Socialist_Party) (PSI), [Italian Democratic Socialist Party](/source/Italian_Democratic_Socialist_Party) (PSDI), [Italian Republican Party](/source/Italian_Republican_Party) (PRI) and [Italian Liberal Party](/source/Italian_Liberal_Party) (PLI). The cabinet fell after the reject of the government's budget law. After that, Spadolini resigned on 7 August 1982.[3] ## Party breakdown Christian Democracy 15 Italian Socialist Party 7 Italian Democratic Socialist Party 3 Italian Republican Party 2 Italian Liberal Party 1 ### Ministers and other members -
