Technocratic government (Italy)

In Italy, a technocratic government, technical government (Italian: governo tecnico) or government of technicians (Italian: governo dei tecnici), is the term used to refer to a cabinet made up of experts not officially affiliated to any political party or political coalition. Technocracy in Italy, as elsewhere, has often proved to be controversial.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6]} These governments tend to be formed during emergencies, usually an economic crisis, and are seen by some as undemocratic. There have been two such governments in the history of Italy: the Dini Cabinet, and the Monti Cabinet.
