Italian Foreign Minister, Paolo Gentiloni asked to form a government by the country's president

    Italian Foreign Minister, Paolo Gentiloni, is being asked to form a government by the country's president.
     In a brief acceptance speech, Gentiloni said he realised the urgency of forming the government to reassure the country, assuring that he would work within the framework of the previous administration, making it likely that he will reappoint several ministers.
    President Sergio Mattarella has been looking for a replacement for centre-left Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi, who resigned after losing a referendum on constitutional reform last week.

62 year old Gentiloni is a loyalist from Renzi's Democratic Party and reports say that if he is successful in rallying support, a government could be formed in days.
