The Legislature XVII of Italy (Italian: XVII Legislatura della Repubblica Italiana) started on 15 March 2013 and ended on 22 March 2018.[1][2] Its composition was the one resulting from the general election of 24–25 February 2013, called after the dissolution of the houses of Parliament announced by President Giorgio Napolitano on 22 December 2012.[3]

The Parliament was dismissed after its term was completed, when President Sergio Mattarella dissolved the houses on 28 December 2017.[4]

At the time of its foundation, this legislature had the lowest average age (48 years) and highest percentage of female MPs (31%) in Italian history.[5]
