(ANSA) - Rome, July 25 - Italian Premier Matteo Renzi said Friday that he will tour Fiat Chrysler factories in Detroit in late September.
    He spoke during meetings with senior officials from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) as well as three workers who presented the premier with the first Jeep Renegade model to be produced in Italy.
    The workers came from the Fiat factory in Melfi, which is now producing Jeeps, a brand brought into the newly created FCA by Chrysler.
    The merger of Fiat and Chrysler became official in January.
    The workers said they were "full of enthusiasm" for the merger and new production plans which they said will help to ensure the plant's future.
    The Jeep Renegade produced in Melfi will go on sale in September and will be produced in Italy for both domestic and international markets.
