Italian judge Sergio Matarella, 73 years old, was elected by parliamentary vote today after two earlier ballots failed to give a majority. This election hands PM Matteo Renzi a vote of confidence- Mr. Matarella was the candidate of choice for Mr. Renzi. Mr. Matarella is a long time politician serving in several other top government posts. He is also the brother of Piersanti Matarella who was murdered by Sicilian Mafia members in 1980.
His predecessor, Giorgio Napolitano, resigned on January 14, 2014, staying in office long after he wished to retire. Perhaps now, with a new president chosen, Mr. Napolitano will be able to relax in pensione!
Cheers to the new President from Tahoma, CA.
