ROME (Reuters) - Italian President Giorgio Napolitano summoned Matteo Renzi to a meeting on Monday at which he is expected to ask the centre-left leader to form a government that must overhaul one of the most troubled economies in the euro zone.
Napolitano is likely to ask the slick-talking mayor of Florence to form the country's 65th government since World War Two in the meeting, which a statement from the president's office said was scheduled for 10.30 a.m. (0930 GMT) in Rome.
