From Wikipedia

The White coup (Italian: Golpe bianco) was a planned coup in Italy intended for the summer of 1974, promoted by former anti-fascist and anti-communist partisans. It intended to force the then President of the Republic Giovanni Leone to appoint a government that would proscribe the Italian Communist Party, other communist groups and right-wing groups like the Movimento Sociale Italiano. It would then lead institutional reforms and establish a semi-presidential constitution like that of the Fifth Republic in France. The term "white coup" (alternatively "silent coup" ("golpe silenzioso") or "soft coup" ("golpe morbido") then entered the common language to indicate more generally a coup d'état carried out without recourse to force, by a government that exercises power unconstitutionally.
