Renzi says Italy can offer solidity (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, June 24 - Premier Matteo Renzi said Friday that Italy can act as a pillar of solidity as the European Union tries to get to grips with Britain's exit. "Italy is solid again," Renzi told a news conference. "Our country has the duty to offer this solidity to the other European partners and we are committed to doing this from tomorrow". Renzi confirmed that he will meet French President Francois Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin on Monday to discuss the implications. "Today is an unprecedented day, not an easy day. But Europe has shown over its history that it is stronger than any and every difficulty".
