| Description | ROME, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Last weekend, for the first time in his gilded career, Mario Draghi missed out on a promotion.
He was the bookmakers' hot favourite to become president of Italy. He had signalled he wanted the prestigious post, with its seven-year term and considerable political clout.
