Flag Italy-1  GOOD TO KNOW
New Italian government sworn in
Matteo Renzi, 39, is the youngest prime minister in Italy’s history. Mr Renzi, who rose to prominence as the mayor of Florence, has chosen a comparatively young cabinet team, about half of them women. He has promised to overhaul the jobs market and the tax and education systems within four months, but he leads a complex coalition that will not make his task easy.

Mr Renzi ousted prime minister and party colleague Enrico Letta, who had led Italy for just 10 months, in a vote at a party meeting on 13 February. Mr Renzi argued that a change of government was needed to end "uncertainty". He had accused Mr Letta of a lack of action on improving the economic situation, with unemployment at its highest level in 40 years and the economy shrinking by 9% in seven years.

Mr Letta was also accused of failing to implement promised reforms of what is seen as an often corrupt and wasteful bureaucracy.
