Mario Draghi saved the euro but Italian politics beat him 

Premier resigned on Thursday after failing to win support from coalition allies

Italian premier Mario Draghi resigned on Thursday.

Mario Draghi managed to keep the euro together at the height of the sovereign-debt crisis but he failed to keep Italian political parties in line — just as the eurozone grapples with a new energy and inflation crisis.

The premier resigned on Thursday after three coalition allies withdrew their support for his government, shattering the unity which had propelled him into office in February 2021.
