Italy's next cabinet is taking shape after rightist leader Giorgia Meloni, set to be appointed prime minister, defused tensions with her coalition partner Silvio Berlusconi over key ministerial posts.
Meloni's Brothers of Italy party led a right-wing alliance including Berlusconi's Forza Italia and Matteo Salvini's League to victory in last month's election, promising political stability in the country after years of short-lived governments.
Giancarlo Giorgetti looked well placed to become economy minister. Giorgetti, the industry minister in Mario Draghi's outgoing government, is considered to be one of the League's most moderate and pro-European figures.Giorgetti will have to balance the financial stability of the euro zone's third largest economy, whose public debt is worth around 145% of national output, with the coalition's tax-cutting promises.
The frontrunner to succeed technocrat Roberto Cingolani in the job is Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, a coalition source said. Pichetto Fratin is a long-time Forza Italia politician who served as deputy industry minister in the outgoing administration.
