Italy's former President, Giorgio Napolitano (C) surrounded by Italian senators, deputies and representatives of the regions -- members of the electoral college -- applauds Sicilian judge Sergio Mattarella, newly elected Italian president, on January 31, 2015, at the Parliament in Rome. Renzi's backing for Mattarella has been interpreted as the end of a temporary alliance the premier forged with disgraced former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi to help drive labour market and electoral reforms through parliament. Mattarella is seen as an "anti-Berlusconi" figure, having severed his ties with the centre right in Italian politics partly because of his distaste for the media tycoon, who still heads the opposition Forza Italia party despite a tax fraud conviction.
