"Prime minister" is indeed a term which is closer to the real situation of contemporary italian politics, but, at the moment, this instiutional figure should not be officialy named after this. the 1948 constitution called him " president of the council of ministers" and constitutionalist have considered him the 4th charge of the state so far (after the president of the republic, senate and chamber of deputies), because in the former pure proportional sistem were the parties after the elections and not a coalition which decided the personality which would lead the cabinet, often with the active commitment of the president of the republic. (whereas now the costume is a mere passive appointment because the coalitions usually have a leader expliciy candidated and presented to electors) It is likely that in the future the PotC will be re-named "prime minister" (as centre-right wing parties has proposed in consitutional reforms which will be voted on June 25th) both because it is a more european-like term and because is thought to explain better the high-decisional role which this figure seems to conquer as time goes by.
