The government was referred to by journalists as a Grand coalition (Italian: Grande coalizione) or Government of broad agreements (Italian: Governo di larghe intese). At formation, the government benefited from a supermajority in the Italian Parliament, one of the largest in the history of the Italian Republic. It was the youngest government to date, with a median age of 53. It was sworn in on 28 April 2013 and won the confidence vote in both the Chamber of Deputies on 29 April and the Senate on 30 April.
