ROME, Feb 13, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Mario Draghi was formally sworn in as
Italy’s new prime minister on Saturday, following weeks of instability in the
eurozone’s third-largest economy.

the European Central Bank, as he stood before President Sergio Mattarella in
the ornate presidential palace in a ceremony broadcast live on television.
