Italy's ruling parties asked Sergio Mattarella on Saturday to carry on as president for a second term after failing to find a compromise candidate in a week of often fraught voting in parliament.

"The Italians do not deserve any more days of confusion," said Matteo Salvini, head of the rightist League party.
