The Ciampi Cabinet was the 52nd cabinet of the Italian Republic following World War II[1] and the second and final cabinet of the XI Legislature. It held office from 28 April 1993 until 10 May 1994, a total of 377 days, or 1 year and 12 days.

It was the first government of the Republic to be led by a non-Parliamentarian. The government was a technical one.[2] Former communists joined the government for the first time since 1947,[3] but they left the government after a few days.

On 4 May 1993, the day after the government was sworn in, PDS and FdV withdrew their ministers from the government; they were replaced with independents.

Obtained the confidence of the Senate on 12 May 1993 with 162 votes in favour, 36 against and 50 abstentions.[5]
