After weeks of trying to hold his fractious governing coalition together, Mario Draghi has admitted defeat and resigned as Italy’s Prime Minister. It seemed almost everyone wanted him to say, apart from members of his own government of national unity.

Guests:

Manlio Di Stefano

Italian Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation

Angelica Krystle Donati

President of ANCE Giovani Lazio

Edoardo Bressanelli

Associate Professor, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies, Pisa
