Florence mayor Matteo Renzi is expected to be offered the chance to become Italian prime minister, as talks begin on forming a new government.<\/p>\n

President Georgio Napolitano is starting consultations following the resignation of Enrico Letta.<\/p>\n

He was ousted in a vote called by Mr Renzi at a meeting of their centre-left Democratic Party. The 39-year-old would be Italy’s youngest prime minister.<\/p>\n

Mr Letta was under increasing pressure over Italy’s poor economic performance.<\/p>\n

After accepting the prime minister’s resignation, Mr Napolitano’s office said talks would begin with political leaders on finding a replacement.<\/p>\n

The consultations would be conducted swiftly to find an “efficient solution” and they would conclude on Saturday, the statement added.<\/p>\n

Mr Letta’s position became untenable once the Democratic Party backed a call for a new administration.<\/p>\n

Mr Renzi had argued that a change of government was needed to end “uncertainty”.<\/p>\n

A new government should take over until the end of the current parliamentary term in 2018, he said.<\/p>\n

He had accused Mr Letta of a lack of action on improving the economic situation, with unemployment at its highest level in 40 years and the economy shrinking by 9% in seven years.<\/p>\n

The Italian prime minister was also accused of failing to implement promised reforms of what is seen as an often corrupt and wasteful bureaucracy.<\/p>\n

Youth unemployment has risen and Italians have grown increasingly impatient of the slow pace of reform and the continuing decline of families’ income and living standards.<\/p>\n

Mr Letta, 47, only lasted 10 months in the post after forming a coalition government with the centre-right last year.<\/p>\n

The prime minister, who drove himself from the presidential palace after resigning, took to Twitter to thank “all those who have helped me”.<\/p>\n

Angelino Alfano, leader of a centre-right faction that has been part of Mr Letta’s government, gave a guarded response to Mr Renzi’s plans.<\/p>\n

There was no guarantee that an attempt to form a new government under Mr Renzi would work, Mr Alfano said, adding he would not support a new administration whose policies were too left-wing.<\/p>\n

The leader of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement, former comedian Beppe Gillo, said he would not be taking part in the negotiations. His party garnered a quarter of the vote in last year’s election.<\/p>\n
