Italian Constitutional Monarchy

The Italian Constitutional Monarchy was Italy’s political system from 1861 to 1946, where the King held significant formal power but operated within a constitutional framework limiting his authority. The government was headed by elected officials, and the judiciary and parliament exercised legislative powers. The monarchy symbolized national unity, while modern democratic institutions governed daily affairs. After World War II, Italy abolished the monarchy, establishing a republic. This system balanced royal tradition with evolving democratic principles, transitioning Italy from royal rule to a parliamentary republic.
