Abstract
On 16 November 2011, after little more than three and a half years, the fourth Berlusconi government came to a premature end. This time, therefore, our usual analysis of the Government's legislative activity takes the form of a final report insofar as it is based on data that have been gathered, analysed and interpreted in real time on the executive's performance in the process of law making. This brief contribution therefore seeks to bring up to date our usual battery of indicators on the quantity and quality of the proposals presented to Parliament by the fourth Berlusconi government; on the 'division of labour' within the executive; on the extent to which the Government's legislative initiatives reflect its programme, and on the success rate of the executive in Parliament.
