The government was composed of DC, PSI, PSDI and PRI, with the abstention of the PLI. Since in the Italian Senate the abstention is valid as a contrary vote, the two senators of the PLI did not take part in the vote of confidence to the government.

He fell as a result of the P2 lodge scandal. Forlani resigned on 26 May 1981.
