ROME, Aug. 30 -- Giuseppe Conte, who headed the ill-fated government that collapsed this month after nearly 15 months in power, has been tapped to head the next government as well.
His main task, according to analysts, will be largely the same -- forging compromise between two parties that are not natural allies.
On Thursday, Italian President Sergio Mattarella gave Conte a formal mandate to form a new government based on a coalition that includes the populist Five-Star Movement and the center-left Democratic Party, two parties long at odds with each other.
That is not too different from the uneasy alliance between the Five-Star Movement and the nationalist, anti-migrant League, which based Conte's previous government.
"When he first became prime minister last year, Conte's role immediately became that of a mediator, always looking for compromises between two parties that did not agree on many things," Nicola Pasini, a political science professor at the State University of Milan, told Xinhua.
"He will have the same job with the new coalition between the Five-Star Movement and the Democratic Party," Pasini said.
The new government could have one advantage over the previous one, analysts said. Both the Five-Star Movement and the Democratic Party might be more willing to compromise in order to keep the League and its leader, Matteo Salvini, out of office.
"The Five-Star Movement and the Democratic Party agreed to work together because it is the only way that they can survive," Pasini said.
