ROME (Reuters) - Italy s co-ruling Democratic Party (PD) will not let Economy Minister Roberto Gualtieri be shunted aside in any cabinet reshuffle that might arise from the ongoing government crisis, political sources said on Monday.
Separately, a source who had spoken with President Sergio Mattarella the man tasked with finding a solution to the turmoil said the head of state wanted continuity in the main ministries, including the economy, health and defence portfolios.
Political sources have said the small Italia Viva party, which triggered the crisis by pulling out of Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte s cabinet, wanted Gualtieri to leave his post as part of an eventual deal to stitch back together the coalition.

Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte was forced to resign last week when a junior partner, Italia Viva, quit the 17-month-old coalition in a row over its handling of the coronavirus pandemic and subsequent economic meltdown.
The speaker of the lower house of parliament, Roberto Fico, has been leading mediation efforts since Friday between the coalition parties.
He is due to report back to Italian President Sergio Mattarella on his progress on Tuesday, but with time running out little progress has been made, sources familiar with the discussions told Reuters.
