See how Italy compares →

Became Italy’s youngest prime minister at 39, pushed labor and constitutional reforms, and resigned after voters rejected his constitutional referendum.

Matteo Renzi sits in the right-libertarian part of the Caucus economy and liberty compass: slightly free market and centered on liberty and authority. The clearest positions are strongly tech-optimist on technology, leaning progressive on culture and leaning globalist on nation. The profile is close to the middle on liberty and authority.
