The second Conte government was the 66th government of the Italian Republic and the second government led by Giuseppe Conte.[1][2][3] The government was sworn in on 5 September 2019[4] to 13 February 2021.
The government was supported by the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) and the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), along with the leftist parliamentary group Free and Equal (LeU). On 17 September 2019 the centrist party Italia Viva (IV), which splintered from the PD on that day, announced its support for the coalition, as well.
The government has been referred to as the "yellow-red government" (governo giallorosso), based on the customary colours of the main supporting parties.[5][6][7]
The second Conte government had the lowest average age of its members in the history of the Italian Republic.[8]
On 13 January 2021, after weeks of disagreements within the government coalition, the two ministers of IV resigned from their posts. Having lost the full support of one of the parties forming the government, Prime Minister Conte resigned on 26 January 2021.[9][10][11]
