7:30 p.m.
Matteo Renzi has arrived at the Quirinal presidential palace in Rome to formally hand in his resignation as Italian premier.
Renzi tried to resign on Monday, but President Sergio Mattarella told him to stay on until Parliament gave final approval to the 2017 national budget legislation.
A few hours after the Senate did so, Renzi, who is also Democratic Party leader, returned to the palace Wednesday evening to formally resign.
