Monti sice nebude ve volbách kandidovat (už dnes je doživotním senátorem), ale vytvořil centristickou koalici – která není spojená s levicí ani s pravicí – a deklaroval ochotu vrátit se do vedoucí funkce, bude-li tato koalice vítězná.
While he will not run as a candidate (he is already a senator for life), he formed a centrist coalition – affiliated with neither the left nor the right – to contest the election, and has declared his willingness to resume his leadership role if the coalition is victorious.
