The Pentapartito (from Greek πέντε, "five", and Italian partito, "party"), commonly shortened to CAF from the initials of Bettino Craxi, Giulio Andreotti, and Arnaldo Forlani, was the coalition government of five Italian political parties that formed between June 1981 and April 1991. The pro-European and Atlanticist coalition comprised the Christian Democracy (DC), the Italian Socialist Party (PSI), the Italian Democratic Socialist Party (PSDI), the Italian Liberal Party (PLI), and the Italian Republican Party (PRI). As a proper coalition, the Pentapartito was the successor of the organic centre-left that was born in 1963 and governed much of the 1960s. The new coalition that would dominated the 1980s and early 1990s was formed following the end of the Historic Compromise between the DC and the Italian Communist Party (PCI) that led two national solidarity governments between 1976 and 1979. In 1991, with the exit of the PRI, the same coalition formally evolved into the Quadripartito and was the last party system of the First Italian Republic, which would be marked by the judicial revolution of Mani pulite.
