All of his opponents everywhere, the left, right, center, wherever. Even within his party. So in practice it is a referendum on mateo renzi. Him against everyone else. Reporter it has become a vote about you. And thats not good. Yes. This is, was my mistake in the first days of electoral campaign. I understand the mistake. I dont, i dont accept the people who say oh, have to refuse to admit mistake. No, i am a man. I can make some mistakes. Reporter if you can trust them, the polls show the no vote slightly ahead. There have been weekly rallies against renzi and his referendum. Some of which have turned violent. While others have been simply passionate. Si or no banners read renzi go home. Though in office for a little over two and a half years, mateo renzi is seen as the establishment, the vessel for people to vent their anger in a year when discontented voters are sag no to those in power. After the victory of trump. A lot of italian populists, ah, we won. Reporter they said trump was a vote for no. Yeah, if trump won in michigan or pennsylv lombardia. Italy is nervous, rattled by the shock of the brexit vote. The European Union needs stability in italy, a country notorious for its instability. . . And president obama with an eye perhaps on boosting renzi before the referendum, last month invited renzi and his wife, obama years. . . If renzi pulls out a victory next week, it will likely be because he is a relentless campaigner and a master of operatic stage craft. With his tuscan swagger and a florentine ease with the italian language he is racing around italy like a man who consumed one double espresso too many. He is trying to convince his people that a yes vote is the best chance for italy to move forward. Heres what i hear from you, sitting here in this remarkable place of history. I love italy so much i want to change it in order to make sure it can be all that it can. The message is exactly the that. After two years in my chair in absolutely sure about the potential role of my country. Reporter from a young age, renzi was the smartest person in the room. At age 19, he won over 30,000 on the italian version of wheel of fortune. By age 34, he became the mayor of florence. In 2014, despite not being a member of parliament, he managed to assume the prime election. It was a move worthy of fellow florentine machiavelli whose name for five centuries defined the gaining of political advantage. We are in this city of florence, the home of machiavelli. Yes. Not only machiavelli. Not only. Machiavelli worked exactly in the other room. Reporter he worked in there . Yes. And there is the portrait of machiavelli now. Reporter machiavelli was power. Thats the game you are in. Machiavelli is in italy because machiavelli its a representation as a man who used the every way to achieve the power. But i think machiavelli is one of the symbol of italian intelligence. This is the portrait of mall reporter renzi is selfaware and self deprecating but the joke in italy is that renzis ego is so huge, the entrances to the pallals had to be enlarged to accommodate it. Heres what some journalistic friend said to me. He is a man in a hurry. He talks too much. Has tried to do a lot in 2 1 2 years. But they remind me that your mateo. But you are not god. Its true. He told me. I am not interested to change about the government, i interested to change the conditions for the people. So, yes, i talk a lot.

World leaders headed to havana for the Memorial Service for fidel castro. The revolutionary leader and communist dictator died friday at 90. As thousand began lining up the white house announced that president obama will not be attending the memorial, nor sundays state funeral. Neither will russian president vladamir putin. Castro was cremated saturday. Remains are inside the jose marte memorial in revolutionary square. Then driven 750 to santiago de cuba. The first place of the revolution. Reporter Fidel Castros death marks the end of an era whether the start of a new one for cuba remains to be seen. Illness forced castro to transfer his powers to his brother raul in 2006, and to hand over the presidency in 2008. Though his iron fist no longer ruled cuba, the 90yearold was a potent symbol of the revolution. What was the best thing he did . Foth free for the people. Reporter health and education . Of course. Reporter will it change without fidel . I dont really worry about it. I dont. Reporter after his 1959 overthrow of the cuban dictator. What we want now is peace. What we want now is our peace here. Reporter some cubans wonder if raul castro will pursue modified capitalism and democratic reforms. These women are wives and mothers of jailed dissidents. We are going to continue with raul castro who will do the same thing fidel did, she said, those two did the same things together. President barack obama reestablished diplomatic ties with havana and loosened the travel ban in 2009. President elect donald trump call f and may roll back some of president obamas policies. Younger cubans saw a taste of american style freedom. Last time tie was here, diplo stood on the stage in an electronic dance music concert, watched by 400,000 people. Tonight a city in mourning, there is less partying and more translator there could be change, this man said, or maybe things will remain the same. But many believe Fidel Castros death is a tie for mourning and a consideration of cubas future. The government has not released many details about castros death, be still do not know the cause of his death for example. For his part, raul castro says he intends to step down here is what is interesting here. Whether you love fidel castro because of what he did in education and health care, or hate him because of civil rights and human rights, there is no doubt that he is considered a revolutionary hero not only in cuba but in many places around the world and also for his defiance of the United States. One place where fidel castro is not considered a hero is miamis Little Havana neighborhood. David begnaud has that side of the story. For thousand who celebrated this weekend. It was celebration. News of his death is the best news off the island. The front cover of the miami herald has become something of a collectors item. This is it. The icon is gone. Reporter dolce abrerro, one of thousands who gathered in Little Havana. Some look her left cuba for the u. S. When they were children placed flowers at the graves of their parents. I am here for their voice today. Thats what i am here for. Their voices cant be heard. I am here saying many cuban americans here in south florida are questioning whats next. I think that the death of a tyrannical leader, fidel castro would have had more Significant Impact had he been in power. This florida congresswoman and her family fled to the u. S. Cuba will change when there is a change in cuba. Castros leaving this earth will not bring this about. Are you encouraged by the death . Not going to change anything. Changes nothing for you. I think so. Castro is gone. His brother is still there. I dont think his brother is as strong as he was. Reporter the four came to america as part of operation pedro pan. They put us in a plane. They didnt know what was going reporter in 1960, the year after castro seized power, thousands of cuban parents sent their kids to america. The four were 16, 13, 6, and 9 at the time. Their parents later joined them in the u. S. None of you have been back . No. Why havent you gone back . I am not ready. Other people can not understand. What we underwent. Even my own children, they really dont understand. I am eternally grateful to my parents for putting me on that plane. The cubanamericans david spoke to may have no intention of going back to cuba. A lot of other people do. Jetblue kicked off their flights to cuba yesterday. There are questions whether the Trump Administration will follow through on the thaw in relations. Chip reid has that. I cubans for trump. Reporter days before he was elected. Donald trump promised to reverse the nations diplomatic deal with cuba. We will cancel obamas onesided cuban deal. Made by executive order. If we do not get the deal we want. Reporter on sunday, mr. Trumps Incoming White House chief of staff, signalled the whole deal is up in the air. President elect trump is deal with cuba. Reporter in peru earlier this month. President obama reassured latin American Business owners, u. S. Ties to cuba will not be cut off. All those things i expect to continue. The white house and the president elect were on opposite ends of the spectrum in their comments. In his statement, president obama left if the up to history to judge the enormous impact of this singular figure. Trump was more who oppressed his own people. The guy was a pawn the a prisoner of both governments. Reporter allen gross spent five years in a cuban prison. Accused of undermining their government. He says the only thing keeping the countries at odds had been the men in charge. I boil it down to a personality conflict. Between 10 u. S. President s and one cuban president. And when we got to the 11th president and the cuban presidency changed thats when . Rooms come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. With eight times more fragrance control, the air wick .

President elect donald trump ran his campaign promising to drain the swamp in washington. Well half a world away in italy, Prime Minister mateo renzi has an ambitious plan. A referendum would reshape the italian constitution. Among the provisions, slashing the number of senators in parliament. Charlie rose has the story for 60 minutes. . We met mateo renzi in florence where the renaissance was born and where it flourished. This is the salavicci, the flower, symbol of florence. Reporter he insisted on conducting the interview in the old palace in a room with a view. Look out the window. After donald trump had stunned the world. This is the headline in the New York Times this morning when i got up. Here in your city. Whats your reaction . It is a surprise. A great surprise. Yesterday, i spoke with the president elect. You spoke with trump . Did he call you or you call him . I called him. Because the president elect deserved a call by the Prime Minister of italy. And i i wished him every, every good, good luck for, for the next years. Reporter did you remind him you supported his opponent . But we dont discuss about it. But it is normal. It is the the great, the great play of democracy. Reporter renzi finds himself at the center of a great play of democracy, italians will vote on december 4th on a referendum he it would change italys constitution by slashing the number of senators in parliament. Italy is incredible. Because italy is the country with 950 members of parliament. The double of the United States of america. Reporter u. S. , 435 members of the house. 100 members of the senate. In italy, the number are 630 in the chamber. And in se, reduce the senate to 100 members, who would be appointed and not elected. Renzi believed the change is needed because the senate is the graveyard of legislation in italy. This referendum is not a referendum to change democracy in italy. It is a referendum to reduce bureaucracy in italy. Italy is the worst country for and this is very important. If we have a system with a lot of politicians, the consequence is 63 government changes in 70 years. Reporter 63 governments in 70 years exactly. Because we have a system and bureaucracy. Everything is difficult. Everything is complicated. And my idea is simply give simplicity to italy. Reporter renzi known as the demolition man in italy. He wants to scrap the old ways of doing buss. He has already passed a bill that makes it easier to hire and fire workers. Renzi argues with a leaner senate he can streamline the way italy is run. History is italys richest asset. But its present is hampered by a bloated inefficient state. Italys economy hasnt grown for two decades. The Unemployment Rate is nearly 12 . Italians still know how to enjoy many italians are suspicious of renzis motives for the referendum. This is crazy. This is madness. Ridiculous. Democracy is the right that people have to choose their, their representative. Reporter virginia ragi, the mayor of rome who cam to office with little political experience. Her Party Opposes renzis constitutional reform. Country. He just wants more power. Reporter that is an incredible accusation to make. More power to do what . What he wants. Maybe all the laws he wants to do without great opposition from the parliament. Reporter one of italys leading columnists. He says renzi personalized the referendum early on by threatening to quit if the no vote prevailed. The left, right, center, wherever. Even within his party. So in practice it is a referendum on mateo renzi. Him against everyone else. Reporter it has become a vote about you. And thats not good. Yes. This is, was my mistake in the first days of electoral campaign. I understand the mistake. I t, people who say oh, politicians have to refuse to admit mistake. No, i am a man. I can make some mistakes. Reporter if you can trust them, the polls show the no vote slightly ahead. There have been weekly rallies against renzi and his referendum. Some of which have turned violent. While others have been simply passionate. Si or no banners read renzi go home. Though in office for a little over two and a half years, mateo renzi is seen as the establishment, the vessel for people to vent their anger in a year when discontented voters are sag no to those in power. After the victory of trump. A lot of italian populists, ah, we won. Reporter they said trump was a vote for no. Yeah, if trump won in michigan or pennsylvania, it is not the same thing in the lombardia. The shock of the brexit vote. The European Union needs stability in italy, a country notorious for its instability. . . And president obama with an eye perhaps on boosting renzi before the referendum, last month invited renzi and his wife, anyezi to the white house for the final state dinner of the obama years. . If renzi pulls out a victory next week, it will likely be because he is a relentless campaigner and a master of operatic stage craft. With his tuscan swagger and a florentine ease with the italian language he is racing around italy like a man who consumed one double espresso too many. Renzi is a natural politician. He is trying to convince his people that a yes vote is the best chance for italy to move forward. Heres what i hear from you, sitting here in this remarkable place of history. I love italy so much i want to change it in order to make sure it can be all that it can. The message is exactly the that. After two years in my chair in rome as Prime Minister, i am reporter from a young age, renzi was the smartest person in the room. At age 19, he won over 30,000 on the italian version of wheel of fortune. By age 34, he became the mayor of florence. In 2014, despite not being a member of parliament, he managed to assume the Prime Minister seat without winning an election. It was a move worthy of fellow florentine machiavelli whose name for five centuries defined the gaining of political advantage. We are in this city of florence, the home of machiavelli. Yes. Not only machiavelli. Not only. Machiavelli worked exactly in the other room. Reporter he worked in there . Yes. And there is the portrait of machiavelli now. Reporter machiavelli was about power and the exercise of thats the game you are in. Machiavelli is in italy because machiavelli its a representation as a man who used the every way to achieve the power. But i think machiavelli is one of the symbol of italian intelligence. This is the portrait of machiavelli. And self deprecating but the joke in italy is that renzis ego is so huge, the entrances to the palace had to be enlarged to accommodate it. Heres what some journalistic friend said to me. He is a man in a hurry. He talks too much. Has tried to do a lot in 2 1 2 years. But they remind me that your mateo. But you are not god. Its true. He told me. I am not interested to change about the government, i interested to change the conditions for the people. So, yes, i talk a lot. You can see the full report on our website, cbsnews. .
