CHIANCIANO, Italy (Reuters) - Prime Minister Enrico Letta appealed for political stability on Saturday ahead of a week which could signal the end of his government, warning a political crisis would push up borrowing costs and throw Italy into chaos.

"I want to send a very strong message here, we can no longer afford this instability based on political games," Letta said at a convention of the centrist UDC party in the Tuscan town of Chianciano.
