Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte resigned on Tuesday, in hopes of putting together a new coalition and rebuilding his parliamentary majority.

Conte lost his absolute Senate majority earlier in January, when the Italia Viva party, the junior partner in the coalition led by former Premier Matteo Renzi, quit after a disagreement on the government’s handling of the coronavirus crisis and economic recession.
