Italy goes to general elections in September.

Italy will hold general elections this autumn after President Sergio Mattarella officially dissolved parliament.

The decision came after Prime Minister Mario Draghi tendered his resignation as a result of key right-wing coalition allies boycotting a confidence vote.

Draghi, an economist and former president of the European Central Bank, will continue to lead an interim government.

The election – to be held on September 25 – will be Italy’s second in four years.

“The government has submitted its resignation. I thanked Mario Draghi and the ministers for their commitment during these 18 months,” Mattarella said on Thursday at the Quirinale Palace.

“The government is facing limitations in its activities, but it has the means to operate in these months before the new executive comes.”
