Matteo Renzi (Italian pronunciation: [matˈtɛːo ˈrɛntsi]; born 11 January 1975) is an Italian politician who served as the Prime Minister of Italy from February 2014 until December 2016. Renzi stated that he planned to resign after a failed attempt at changing the country's constitution on 5 December 2016; however his resignation did not formally take effect until 12 December, when Foreign Affairs Minister Paolo Gentiloni was appointed new head of the government by President Sergio Mattarella. Renzi served as President of the Province of Florence from 2004 to 2009 and as Mayor of Florence from 2009 to 2014. Ideologically, he is often characterised as a centrist.
