Italy's new coalition government was due to be sworn in on Sunday, ahead of parliamentary votes of confidence next week to formally end weeks of political stalemate in the euro zone's third-largest economy. The new cabinet, composed of 21 members from the left, right and centre of the political spectrum, has an average age of 53, significantly lower than previous administrations, according to a report of DPA. It also includes seven women, among them the first minister to have been born in Africa. Prime Minister Enrico Letta, 46, of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), said he was satisfied with the team by saying it features "a record presence" of women.
