Giuseppe Conte is a 53-year-old jurist who has never been elected to parliament. Populist leaders Salvini and Di Maio will be joint deputy prime ministers.
Giuseppe Conte (above right) was sworn in as Italy's 58th prime minister on Friday, ending weeks of political turmoil that rocked financial markets and prompted concerns from the country's European Union partners.
Italy has been without a government since elections on March 4 failed to produce a clear winner. The far-right Lega (League), formerly Lega Nord, and the anti-establishment, populist Five Star Movement (M5S), despite being diametrically opposed on some issues, have been trying to cobble together a government after M5S was unable to do so with the Democratic Party (DP).
Despite decrying Italy's long history of installing unelected technocrats, the parties suggested Conte as prime minister. Conte is a jurist whose only political experience is being elected to the Bureau of Administrative Justice by the lower-house Chamber of Deputies.
The law professor who has never before held political office was sworn in on Friday afternoon, ending almost three months of political uncertainty and bringing to power a new populist government.
