Zampano and Emsden describe the difficulties new premier Matteo Renzi will have with a divided parliament and opposition in parliament from the parties of Berlusconi and Grillo. A poll by IXE shows 53% of Italians support Mr. Renzi compared to 37% for former premier Letta. He is expected to focus on economic measures and institutional reforms are likely to slow down because of the political situation with no party having a clear mandate. European elections in May 2014 will be a first test for Renzi and the Democratic party.

Enrico Letta makes it clear that his mission is to put behind him the geriatric Italy where the professors are old, the politicians are old, and the old ways prevail. His mission says Letta, 47 years old, is to see the younger generation take charge in Italy. Italy takes the presidency of the European Union in the second semester 2014, and Letta is outspokenly pro-European. Credibility in financial markets and economic growth are his main priorities.
