The Mussolini government was the longest-serving government in the history of united Italy. The Cabinet administered the country from 31 October 1922 to 25 July 1943, for a total of 7,572 days, or 20 years, 8 months and 25 days.^[1]

On taking office, the government was composed by members from National Fascist Party, Italian People's Party, Social Democracy, Italian Liberal Party, Italian Nationalist Association and other independent politicians.^[2] However, since 1 July 1924, all other parties were purged and the government was composed exclusively of Fascists, except for a few military officers.

The government fell following the approval of the Grandi agenda by the Grand Council of Fascism on 25 July 1943.
