ROME: Italy's fractious coalition partners are gearing up for a showdown this week that is likely to determine if the government will collapse, triggering autumn elections, or survive to the end of the year.

The dispute dominated Italy's newspapers at the weekend:"Government blocked," financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore said in a frontpage headline."Close to a breakdown," said Il Messaggero.Salvini has promised to see 5-Star leader Luigi Di Maio to discuss the tensions, but no date has been set for the meeting.
The poll put the far-right Brothers of Italy, which is not part of the ruling coalition, on 6.0per cent, suggesting it could win an election in alliance with the League, a long-time ally.
