Second Craxi government

The Craxi II Cabinet was the 43rd cabinet of the Italian Republic. It held office from 1986 to 1987.

The cabinet, headed for the second time by the socialist leader Bettino Craxi, was supported by the penta-party coalition, composed of Christian Democracy (DC), Italian Socialist Party (PSI), Italian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI), Italian Republican Party (PRI) and Italian Liberal Party (PLI).

Craxi resigned on 3 March 1987, resignations then confirmed on 9 April.
