the government Giuliano Amato is reversed in 1993 after the business clean Mains . The apolitical government of Carlo Azeglio Ciampi is charged to temporarily ensure the transition before the legislative elections from 1994.

Silvio Berlusconi gains the elections the same year of its entry in policy and becomes President of the council. After the business clean Hands , it is in its turn suspected of corruption and reversed by the League of North. Following impossibility of finding a majority, a new apolitical government directed by Lamberto Dini is installed until the elections of 1996.
