    Senate of the Republic

    The number of elected senators is 315. At the beginning of the legislature there were 10 life senators (Giovanni Leone and Francesco Cossiga as former Presidents, and the nominated life senators Amintore Fanfani, Leo Valiani, Carlo Bo, Norberto Bobbio, Gianni Agnelli, Giulio Andreotti, Francesco De Martino and Paolo Emilio Taviani). After the deaths of Fanfani and Valiani, and the appointment of Scalfaro as life senator after the election of President Ciampi on 15 May 1999, the final number of life senators was of nine.

    The total number of senators at the start of the legislature was of 325. At the end of it, two seats remained vacant because no by-elections could be held for vacancies appearing less than one year before the natural end of the legislature. Therefore, the total number of senators at the end of the legislature was of 322.
