Italy Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte to resign tomorrow, as his coalition crumbles

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte will hand in his resignation to the head of state tomorrow morning after a cabinet meeting to inform his ministers, Conte’s office said.
The prime minister, who has been in office since June 2018, hopes President Sergio Mattarella will give him a mandate to form a new government with broader backing in parliament, senior government sources said.
Conte lost his majority in the upper house Senate last week, when the centrist Italia Viva party led by former premier Matteo Renzi quit the coalition in a row over the government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis and economic recession.
