Italy’s Prodi to resign after losing vote - by Guy Dinmore
Italy’s centre-left government fell on Thursday night after narrowly losing a tumultuous vote of confidence in the senate despite desperate attempts by Romano Prodi, prime minister, to prolong the life of his weakened coalition against the advice of allies. Mr Prodi intended to submit his resignation immediately to President Giorgio Napolitano, a spokesman for the prime minister said. The president may seek the formation of a caretaker government or call early elections.
