Background
After the departure of King Umberto II of Italy (June 13, 1946), the functions of head of state had provisionally exercised by the Prime Minister Alcide De Gasperi, to which were entrusted to the beginning of July when, following his election as Provisional Head of State, Enrico De Nicola was sworn in before the Constituent Assembly.
They are not considered presidential elections, as this institution did not yet exist. However, De Nicola assumed this title according to the first transitional provision of the Constitution in 1948.
