ROME, June 1 -- Italy's new government of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte was officially sworn in here on Friday, putting an end to a deadlock lasting since early March inconclusive vote.
The new cabinet was formed on a coalition between anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S) and far-right League, the two most voted parties in the elections.
Conte, a 53-year-old law professor and political novice, was reappointed by President Sergio Mattarella on Thursday night, after his previous cabinet attempt with the same parties failed on Sunday.
His cabinet comprised 18 members, including M5S leader Luigi Di Maio as Minister of Economic Development and Labour, and League chief Matteo Salvini as Interior Minister.
Both would also serve as vice prime ministers.
The crucial Economy Ministry was entrusted to Giovanni Tria, a professor of Political Economy at Rome Tor Vergata University who is favorable to Italy's continued adherence to the euro-zone.
His nomination was a key turning point allowing the success of M5S-League's latest negotiations, since the president had nixed their previous nominee -- Eurosceptic economist Paolo Savona -- as finance minister.
In the new cabinet, Savona will serve as Minister for European Affairs.
Enzo Moavero Milanesi, director of the School of Law at LUISS University in Rome, was sworn in as Foreign Affairs Minister.
