The Legislature XIII of Italy (Italian: XIII Legislatura della Repubblica Italiana) lasted from 9 May 1996 until 29 May 2001.[1][2] Its composition was the one resulting from the general election of 21 April 1996. The election was called by President Scalfaro after the technocratic government of Lamberto Dini lost its support in the Parliament in 1995. President Scalfaro dissolved the houses of Parliament on 16 February 1996.[3] The legislature ended after completing its five-year-long natural course, when President Ciampi dissolved the houses on 8 March 2001.[4]
