More notable times when their government ended terms before elections

1998, 2000, 2008, 2011 (Berlusconi PM third term)

Conte was already threatening resignation back in 2019

And Conte actually RESIGNED in 2019 but was reinstated

As European I'm quite up to date with EU

Italian government is one of the most if not THE most unstable in Europe and corruption ridden, with literal mafia/mob doing many things behind the scenes. Not DS, just good ol mobsters

This time it's all about lacking majority in senate and need of rearrangement. It may end up with sooner elections than usual.

So sorry, but I wouldn't really make big deal out of this
