Italy's new coalition government will be sworn in on Sunday morning, breaking two months of political stalemate since the general election.
The new cabinet and prime minister will be sworn in at 11:30 (09:30 GMT) at the presidential Quirinal Palace in Rome.
The coalition brings together Enrico Letta's Democratic Party (PD) and the People of Freedom party (PDL) of former PM Silvio Berlusconi.
It was the "only possible government", said President Giorgio Napolitano.
But BBC correspondent said this "grand coalition" between Italy's current main right- and left-wing parties is unprecedented, and will probably prove an uneasy alliance.
Letta will become the new prime minister.
Berlusconi had said he would not be a minister, but had pushed for leading figures from his party to be given top posts.
Letta is the nephew of former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's chief-of-staff Gianni Letta, and was seen as a moderate acceptable to the center-right.
