Editor's Take:
Matteo Renzi burst onto the national stage promising to scrap Italy's old political class. As Prime Minister he pushed through labour reforms and new rules on civil unions. He staked his job on a referendum to change the constitution. Voters rejected it decisively, and he resigned. He later left his party to found a smaller one. He still plays kingmaker in government crises. Supporters admire his energy, while critics see him as too impatient.
