Renzi is pitching for support in Parliament ahead of mandatory confidence votes on his brand-new coalition. Democratic Party leader Renzi told the Senate Monday he needs support for a "bold vision" that will get economically stagnate Italy dreaming again. Without giving details, Renzi said debt-laden Italy must heal its public finances not because Germany’s leader, Angela Merkel or the European Central Bank chief want us "to get serous" but because "it’s our children" who seek a future.
