Italian center-right, populists join forces to elect parliament speakers

The newly elected Senate speaker Maria Elisabetta Alberti Casellati (L front) shakes hands with former Italian president Napolitano at the senate in Rome, Italy, on March 24, 2018. Italy's center-right bloc and the anti-establishment Five Star Movement joined forces Saturday to elect a speaker for each chamber of parliament, in what could be a test run for a possible government alliance in the wake of an inconclusive March 4 general election.
