President of Italy Sergio Mattarella has accepted resignation of Prime Minister Mario Draghi.
According to the presidential office, Draghi submitted "his resignation and that of the government he heads" and the president "took note of this". The statement added that the government has remained in place to "conduct current business".
Earlier on Thursday, the Italian Chamber of Deputies was scheduled to hold a vote of confidence in Draghi's government, similar to the one held in the Senate on Wednesday. However, Draghi arrived at the Chamber just to ask the lawmakers to postpone the meeting because he was going to the president to repeatedly submit his resignation.
Last week, Draghi announced his resignation after one of the members of his national unity coalition, the Five-Star Movement (D5Z), refused to take part in the vote of confidence in the government. Forza Italia led by Silvio Berlusconi and Matteo Salvini's League also refused to take part in the vote, saying that it was impossible to recover the trust already lost.

Apparently, Guiseppe Conte is in that list also.

The last month has shown the true colors of Luigi Di Maio, former head of 5-Star, who left the party (or was thrown out)
over his stance on sending weapons to Ukraine. The first thing 5-Star did, after his removal, was to leave the coalition that kept Draghi in power.

The Russians are right now celebrating having made another western government fall,” Di Maio said. “Now I doubt we can send arms [to Ukraine]. It is one of the many serious problems.”
