Italian President Sergio Mattarella continues consultations with leaders of political parties following the resignation of Matteo Renzi as prime minister earlier in the week after he suffered a heavy defeat in a national referendum on constitutional reform for plans to hand more power to the PM by reducing the role of the upper house and powers of regional govts. Mattarella is not expected to call fresh elections but is instead likely to appoint a caretaker prime minister - Finance Minister Pier Carlo Padoan, Culture Minister Dario Franceschini and Senate President Pietro Grasso are seen as the frontrunners * The referendum saw close to 60\\% of voters opt for a 'No' vote, with the result seized upon by populist groups including the Five Star movement founded by Beppe Grillo, a stand-up comedian, and the anti-immigration Northern League (Lega Nord).
