...method of choosing the Senators for the first postwar term. Of the 344 Senators, 107 were Senators "by right," which means that they got their seats automatically: five appointed by the President for bringing renown to Italy; one for being an ex-President ; the rest for being oldtime anti-Fascist legislators or longterm political prisoners under Fascism.
