But because of the unusual results from Italy's general election in March -- two populist parties both exceeded any of their previous results -- and the controversial stances taken by the resulting government, Mattarella has been forced into a more public role.
Even so, his recent criticisms against the government are usual. Regarding Salvini's recent call for a European alliance against "mass migration," Mattarella noted that the heating up of anti-migrant rhetoric was irrational.
"Between the middle of 2017 to middle of 2018, arrivals to Italy from Africa have fallen by 85 percent," Mattarella said. "Talking about closing borders isn't rational, it is a response to emotions. But responsible politics require rationality."
