Italian Parliament

The Italian Parliament (Italian: Parlamento italiano) is the national parliament of the Italian Republic.

It is the representative body of Italian citizens. It is a bicameral legislature with 945 elected members and a small number of unelected members (parlamentari). The Italian Parliament is made up of the Chamber of Deputies (with 630 members or deputati elected on a national basis)[1] and Senate of the Republic (with 315 members or senatori).[2]

The two houses are independent from one another and never meet jointly.
