		Prodi was smiling in the backseat of a limousine as he left the presidential palace and made no comment to reporters.
		Prodi aides did not rule out the possibility that Napolitano would ask Prodi to try to form a new government, and from first discussions among some allies, support for another Prodi government seemed to be building.
		Prodi is an economist and former head of a now defunct Italian state industrial conglomerate who is generally pro-Vatican, although recent approval by his government for a proposed law to give some legal rights to same-sex and other unmarried couples angered the Catholic Church.

		Prodi then studied at the London School of Economics and Milan's Catholic University before joining the University of Bologna, where he was an assistant professor (1963), associate professor (1966) and professor (1971-1999) of industrial organisation and industrial policy.

	JUST Response \| Domenico Pacitti \| Romano Prodi - guru or godfather?
		That an elusive Mr Prodi may have managed to escape Mr Andreotti's questionable influence is supported by the fact that a number of letters addressed to Mr Prodi at his own ministry are reported to have been returned "addressee unknown".
		Mr Prodi began to make his presence felt in 1982 when the Christian Democrat leader, Ciriaco De Mita, another former prime minister who later faced allegations of corruption, placed him at the head of Italy's mammoth state holding company, IRI (the Industrial Reconstruction Institute).
		This, as it turned out, had little to do with Mr Prodi himself and much to do with the widespread Italian fear that failure to enter the EMU would have had disastrous consequences for Italy, a fear shared also by the Communist Refoundation party and trade unions which lent Mr Prodi their backing.

	Italy's Regime Change: What Washington can Expect from Romano Prodi

		Prodi's last government in the 1990s lasted less than two years, brought down in 1998 by a disagreement with the powerful Communist Refoundation Party.
		Prodi will ditch the Eurosceptic approach of the Berlusconi government in favor of pushing for a common European foreign and security policy and a range of additional powers for the executive branch of the EU.
