Don't meddle with central bank's role, Italy president warns parties

ROME (Reuters) - President Sergio Mattarella on Friday warned Italy's ruling coalition not to interfere with the independent role of the Italian and European Central Banks.

The ruling League and 5-Star Movement plan to set up a parliamentary commission to look into possible failings of oversight by the Bank of Italy which they say led to the collapse of numerous Italian banks.
