    My favourite berlusconi moment was when a protestor bashed him in the face with a tiny replica of the colloseum.

      That would be a replica of “Duomo di Milano”, the central church of Milan. The assaliant was mentally unstable so it wasn’t as much a political statement as we’d like.

      He still broke his nose though.

      It was not the Colosseum, but the Milan cathedral.

    Any ideas what the implications might be for the governing coalition? Any chances this will lead to some sort of trouble or realignment?

      Forza Italia had an 8% share last elections so I don’t think it matters a lot. We’ll most likely see a bunch of defection to the other two coalition parties and nothing else

        Yea but that’s a significant 8 percent. Whitout Forza Italia numbers FDI and Lega would have had trouble forming a governing majority. Now the situation is nebulous, we don’t know even if Forza Italia will continue exist…

      Not necessarily. He was already sick for quite some time, so it was not as involved with everything as in the past.

      Not at all, it’ll actually be easier for Meloni to keep his supporters in line.
