All change in Rome: 67th government since WWII pledges 'a more united Italy'

It seems it was a gamble too far for Italy's Matteo Salvini: far-right leader, immigration hardliner and now former deputy prime minister. His bid to spark a snap election this summer did not pay off: instead his Lega party is out of the government, while the centre-left Democratic Party and anti-establishment Five-Star Movement have formed a coalition. We ask MEPs from each of the three parties: can this government can hold out for longer than the last? And what change might it bring to Italy?

Presented by Catherine Nicholson.

Produced by Isabelle Roméro and Mathilde Bénézet.
