Lombardy renewed its delegation to the Italian Senate on April 21, 1996. This election was a part of national Italian general election of 1996 even if, according to the Italian Constitution, every senatorial challenge in each Region is a single and independent race.
The election was won by the centre-left coalition called The Olive Tree.

The 1996 Italian general election was held on 21 April 1996 to elect members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic. Romano Prodi, leader of the centre-left The Olive Tree, won the election, narrowly defeating Silvio Berlusconi, who led the centre-right Pole for Freedoms.
